(SEYMOUR) – Seymour police arrested two Kentucky men and seized 63 fentanyl patches, 80 grams of crystal meth, 160 pills, and around $800 cash during a traffic stop on I-65 near Uniontown Thursday afternoon.
Police say the street value of the fentanyl patches was more than $6,000 each patch sells for $100 on the street. Fentanyl patches are used to treat patients in chronic pain or terminal illnesses. Those that use the patches illegally will cut them into quarters for use.
