The seizure comes shortly after Flagler County Deputies seized 219 grams of Fentanyl along with some cannabis from Adrian Rivers, 52. Rivers was a fugitive with several warrants from Orange & Volusia counties who was a passenger in a car that was pulled over for a broken headlight. The 219 grams in his possession was enough to kill 100,000 people.
A 52-year-old fugitive with a long criminal history now faces more drug charges after the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) finds him with enough fentanyl to potentially kill over 100,000 people.
