Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer warned Sept. 27 of the rise in fentanyl-related deaths in the county, which has been occurring on an average daily basis.
“The number of fentanyl-related deaths in Orange County is skyrocketing,” Spitzer wrote Sept. 27 on Twitter. “Fentanyl is very cheap to produce, and its extreme potency allows dealers to maximize profits by lacing it into different narcotics. Don’t trust illicit pills! You never know what is in them and it only takes one 2 milligram dose of fentanyl to kill an adult.”
