Toddler in Orange Beach finds dollar bill stuffed with the deadly drug, fentanyl
“I’ve seen on Facebook. Stuff’s been put on that. Be careful of dollars that’s laced with fentanyl and stuff like that, but I never thought I’d be…I never thought I’d see it,” said Jake.
The Turners immediately went to security, who called the police. A field test was done to confirm the powder was fentanyl. After the family was observed for a while, they were able to leave. Orange Beach Police said that while fentanyl-laced money has been showing up more around the country, this is the first case they’ve seen.
“I can’t say it’s becoming a national concern, but I can say, if it is and we have visitors from all over the country in our area, to please be careful. If you see money folded up on the ground and it doesn’t look normal, don’t pick it up. Leave it alone. If you suspect anything suspicious, please call your local law enforcement,” explained Lt. Trent Johnson with Orange Beach Police.
Police aren’t sure whether the money was dropped on purpose for someone to find or by accident. While police said they’d like to find out its origin, that will be difficult because there are no security cameras in the area this happened.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
