During the last week, Arkansas State Police have taken over $8.5 million worth of drugs off the streets during two traffic stops on I-40.
Getting illegal drugs off the street is something has been very passionate about because she said her daughter, Elli Bryde died from Fentanyl poisoning in August 2021 just before her senior year of high school.
“It’s killing an entire generation,” Clay added. “Those counterfeit pills are made with like analogs of fentanyl, it’s not hospital-grade fentanyl. all these are analogs that are mixed up that are very hard to detect, and even more deadly.”
Clay also said it’s good to see state police taking action to seize these deadly drugs because she doesn’t want anyone else to lose a loved one.
“Those kids don’t even know what they’re giving out. And so it was traumatic to lose my daughter. Absolutely. But it’s also traumatic for the other kids that were involved and had no idea what they had been given by very organized drug dealers,” she described.
Arkansas State Police Sergeant Zach Owens shared that it is an accomplishment any time there’s a drug bust— big or small.
“We swore into this agency to protect the lives of Arkansas. So anytime we see this removal of this amount of illegal drugs coming off your interstates it makes you feel good,” Sgt. Owens said.
This week and last week, ASP removed $2 million worth of Fentanyl and over $6 million worth of Cocaine in traffic stops on Interstate 40.
