Fentanyl Deaths Dramatically Up in Sonoma County

The fentanyl epidemic is growing in Sonoma County. The Sonoma County Department of Health Services says fentanyl-related deaths went up by an astonishing two-thousand-550-percent between 2017 and 2021. Last year, the county had 74 drug deaths caused by accidental overdoses and the Sonoma County Coroner blames fentanyl for most of them. So how is the drug getting to Sonoma County? Santa Rosa police sergeant Kevin Naugle tells the Press Democrat the fentanyl his officers are seeing is coming from San Francisco and Oakland.
