It’s being billed as one of the largest drug busts in Utah history.
Federal agents seized tens of thousands of synthetic opioids – or fentanyl pills – and cash Tuesday at a home in Utah where a “pill press” was found, the Washington Post reports.
The pills were falsely labeled as Xanax or oxycodone and shipped across the U.S.
The DEA, National Guard and IRS were involved in the raid at a home in the city of Cottonwood Heights in Salt Lake County.
“A very small amount ingested, or absorbed through your skin, can kill you,” warned Acting DEA Deputy Administrator Jack Riley in June.
Aaron Michael Shamo, 26, was charged with possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute.
