Sheriff Simmons said his investigators recovered meth, crack cocaine, powder cocaine and marijuana. They also found blue methamphetamine pills laced with fentanyl, as well as bricks of fentanyl itself. Those findings come as no surprise in Escambia County, where fentanyl overdoses increased by 80% in 2021, killing nearly 300 people.
Deputies found most of that fentanyl inside one home, risked the life of a 4-month-old, Sheriff Simmons said.
