Parole board seizes nearly 1,400 bags of heroin [NJ]

Parole board seizes nearly 1,400 bags of heroin
May 9, 2006 - phillyburbs.com

CAMDEN, N.J. - When authorities arrested a man in Camden accused of not checking in with his parole officer, they said they stumbled upon something else: 1,372 bags of heroin.

The state parole board said the arrest of Edwin Lopez III last week provided a "vital lead" in the mystery of how fentanyl, a powerful prescription drug, ended up in the region's heroin supply last month. The drug is suspected in nearly 30 deaths of heroin users in the Philadelphia area since mid-April.

Authorities say the spate of overdoses in southern New Jersey ended more than a week ago. Some suspected that signaled fentanyl was off the streets in the area.

State police are testing the drug seized from Lopez's home to determine whether it contains fentanyl.

Last week, Philadelphia police and the FBI seized 25,000 bags of fentanyl-laced heroin.

Lopez, 32, was paroled in January 2005 after serving more than six years of a 10-year sentence for conspiracy to commit robbery. He was required to be under supervision for one year. But in December, the reputed member of the Latin Kings street gang stopped returning calls from his parole officer.

Had he continued checking in, he would have "maxed out" and been off parole in January. He is now being held without bail in the Camden County Jail.

Authorities have said they would look into homicide charges against drug dealers who supplied the fentanyl.

Damn. That's a pretty hefty stash to stumble upon! This is the first that I have heard of the Fentanyl laced heroin.:nonono: As if H wasn't bad enough as is. People suck. To do something like that takes a dangerous, malevolent soul. I hope they catch who was doing it.

Recovery is a constant thing... stay strong!

That is a big stash though. You would think if he was that deep in that gang and the local market he would have the sense to fucking check in with the PO..specially if getting off come january....geeez

One of the Pros of legalization is that you wouldn't have such a big problem with things like fentanyl-laced heroin. But I won't get into that debate
