On 12-29-18, Deputies, Detectives with the Multi-County Violent Crime and Narcotics Unit, and Washington Police conducted a search warrant in the 1000 block of Karen Lane in Washington, MO, in reference to selling/distributing narcotics. Deputies arrested a 27 year old male from St. Louis and a 29 year old female from Washington after locating suspected Heroin. During the time frame of December 26, 2018, and December 30, 2018, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office responded to 13 heroin overdoses. The high volume of recent heroin overdoses indicates the heroin entering our community seems to be very potent and possibly laced with Fentanyl. This investigation is on-going.
