Officials with the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office are still searching for a man who is a suspect in connection with a huge bundle of Fentanyl and Methamphetamine that was found in Lafayette.

Fentanyl is supposed to be used by people with severe chronic or acute medical issues that are causing tremendous pain. The medicine is used in the medical field for these purposes. The drug is fifty to a hundred times more powerful than heroin.

Now Fentanyl is everywhere. The Drug Encorecement Agency, says their laboratory testing reveals that 7 of every 10 Fentanyl pills have a lethal dose of the drug. It only takes about 2 to 3 mg to kill someone. This load of Fentanyl that was found at 200 Bridgeway was almost enough to kill 200,000.
