I can only imagine how that phone call home to mom and dad went this morning. I bet her family is proud. All that money on college tuition down the drain. Hope she doesn’t have any plans for the next 10 years.

Fentanyl? They cut heroin with it and it is causing even more heroin related deaths than before. Keep in mind that Fentanyl is measured in micrograms and they fond 20 grams. That is a lot of Fentanyl.
