The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office has made what it calls the largest Fentanyl bust in the county’s history with 10,000 pills seized and laced with Fentanyl.
On March 17, The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant in the 600 block of South 14th Street in Silsbee.
The search of a private residence was done through a court-order by Hardin County Justice of the Peace Chris Ingram of Silsbee. Sheriff’s Office personnel were assisted by the Silsbee Police Department and the Texas DPS Highway Patrol.
Once inside, authorities detained four suspects and discovered approximately 10,000 pressed tablets, methamphetamine, marijuana, promethazine syrup and four handguns.
Approximately 10,000 tablets were discovered throughout the home and these tablets contained what is commonly referred to as Ecstasy, which is street slang for a prohibited substance known as 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine, which is illegal to possess.
They were laced with Fentanyl, a highly potent synthetic opioid which is 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin. These tablets were of different shapes and sizes and were present in a rainbow of colors.
Officers also seized a quantity of methamphetamine, marijuana, and promethazine syrup, which is a sedative in liquid form that is a controlled substance.
Authorities believe the residence was being used to distribute these illegal substances to buyers from throughout Southeast Texas. These fentanyl-laced tablets have a street value of $5-$15 each.
