Do a little research and you'll discover that the vast majority of fentanyl and other drugs are smuggled through ports of entry, not through the "open border."

Well, maybe Trump shouldn't have killed the border bill.

Sheriff Shew can only do so much with the budget he has. My opinion, if a person is convicted of selling fentanyl, it should be a mandatory minimum 20 year sentence. Even more if it results in a death.


Kamala Harris open border policies is a major problem in the United States. She should be held accountable,too. VOTE TRUMP🇺🇸

Truth,
Since you're so dialed into Wilkes County's illegal drug trade, maybe you should call the Sheriff's Office and let them know who the heavy hitters are.


That would be foolish. As soon as you do someone in the sheriff's office would run and tell the drug dealer.

Hey tipper, why do YOU feel that a kilo of fentanyl is street level abuse?

Both sides do it just before election. You can watch out for state workers running with shovels too

They never get the the Wilkes heavy hitters in the drug trade, its always the low level street dealers. They do this just to look good to the public in the media and make it look like they are making a impact.

Grrr,
It's apparent you did not read the article, Shew and Dancy clearly state and the seizure rates of illegal drugs during these arrests show that fentanyl is the taking over, fentanyl and meth are two totally different drugs.

Grrranimal

Posted 10:44 am, 09/25/2024

Yes, because there are no meth labs in Wilkes (rolls eyes).

Sheriff Shew stated: "Because of the open border, fentanyl & meth are the dominant drugs in Wilkes"...
