Last week, a 28-year-old Laguna Hills man was sentenced to 20 years for distributing fentanyl to a man who later died of an accidental overdose.
Bill Bodner remembers when he first encountered fentanyl on the streets of New York City.
It’s been more than 32 years since that moment, and more than ever, local and federal law enforcement are worried about the increasing presence of fentanyl in local communities. “There’s no heat required,” Bodner said from the Spring Street Courthouse in Downtown L.A. He said ease of making fentanyl is a big part of why it has become so popular for drug cartels, who can add fentanyl to other drugs to increase their power, or to manufacture fake versions of other drugs.
