HAMILTON, Ohio (WJW) — Authorities said they seized enough fentanyl to kill tens of thousands of people as well as a luxury car and motorcycle in a drug bust early Thursday, June 5.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said the region's undercover narcotics task force executed two search warrants at two Ohio homes — one in Fairfield, Butler County, and another in Springdale, Hamilton County — following a three-month drug trafficking investigation, according to a Facebook post.

Agents seized about 120 grams of fentanyl, a little more than a quarter-pound — enough to kill 60,000 people, according to the post — 90 grams of cocaine and $5,400 in cash.
They also seized a 2017 Mercedes-Benz sedan and a Slingshot three-wheeled motorcycle:

Errol Baker, 42, was arrested and charged with two first-degree felony counts of possession of drugs. He remains in the Butler County jail, according to the post.
'This case represents the continued dedication of the B.U.R.N. Task Force to identifying and removing high-level drug traffickers from our communities,' Jones is quoted in the post. 'Fentanyl is a deadly poison, and those who profit from its distribution will be held accountable.'
