We are pleased to work with other area Law Enforcement to remove this Fentanyl from our community. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that can be fatal in very small doses. People who use illegal drugs may not be aware the drug they are ingesting may contain Fentanyl. The Effingham County Sheriff‘s Office alone administered three separate doses of NARCAN last week to suspected drug overdose victims.
