Community Alert: Drug Investigation, Port Richey

The Pasco Sheriff’s Office continues our efforts to disrupt the flow of illicit substances in our community. We have zero tolerance for those who would do harm in our community, especially those who seek to profit from those suffering with substance abuse and addiction.

On June 18th, the Pasco Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant on a drug house in the Premier Ave. area of Port Richey and arrested three adults and also seized various illicit substances to include 395.6 grams of fentanyl and 1.5 kilograms of methamphetamine. According to the DEA, two milligrams of fentanyl can be a lethal dose, meaning this seizure was the equivalent of more than 197,500 possible lethal doses of fentanyl, which have now been removed from Pasco County.

The three adults face numerous charges, to include trafficking in fentanyl, trafficking in methamphetamine, and operating a drug house.
