Part of the drugs pulled off the street; nearly seven pounds of fentanyl, enough to kill around 1.5 million people, according to Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd Krajeck.
“In that one investigation run out of the FBI’s two-man office in Mansfield, we worked with partners in multiple local police offices and sheriff’s departments to take kilos of fentanyl off Marion streets,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray to lawmakers Wednesday.
Law enforcement also seized over $25,000, 15 guns, and several pounds of cocaine and methamphetamine. He says a small FBI office pulling off such an operation takes a lot of coordination between multiple departments, requiring across-the-board collaboration.

County Executive Chris Ronayne has proposed a 40-year extension of the county’s quarter-percent sales tax. That needs to be fully and fairly debated, also.
