Millions of dollars are headed to combat drug trafficking in the Central Valley in the ongoing fight against fentanyl.
STOCKTON â Fentynal has hit San Joaquin County hard. Just ask Sheriff Patrick Withrow.'It's just been this uphill battle that's killing literally thousands of people in our community,' the sheriff said.It's a hard fight. Sheriff Withrow said the two biggest hurdles are soft-on-crime laws and resources to go after criminals.
'A kid buys what they think is Adderal from someone at school and it turns out to be laced with fentanyl, and they take too much and they pass away.'This money will give departments like Sheriff Withrow's the resources they need to go after the source of the drugs and work closer with agencies like the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
