To Camelia Valdes, heroin is frustrating.
It’s a threat she’s seen tear apart countless lives in Passaic County, where she serves as prosecutor, while she tries to communicate a grave health threat to an at times apathetic public.
But if heroin is frustrating, fentanyl is downright frightening.
“Thankfully we’ve only seen it pop up a few times around Paterson so far,” Valdes told NJ.com. “Because once that gets out there, it’s a whole new ballgame.”
From 2005 to 2007, fentanyl was blamed in scores of deaths in New Jersey.
