FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) – Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni says a recent drug bust has gone a long way to protect people from fentanyl.
Several packages of the powdered drug were found during a traffic stop on Interstate 5.
Officials say there was enough fentanyl to kill 7.5 million people.
This year alone in Fresno County, 48 deaths have been fentanyl-related.
32-year-old Mario Hernandez and 21-year-old Manuel Lopez were arraigned Monday on charges of possession of narcotics for sale.
They can face up to 15 years if convicted.
