Throughout 2025 Group 6 Narcotics Enforcement Unit opened 315 new cases and closed 222 with arrests covering the areas of Grant, Clark and Hot Spring counties.
Drugs seized included over 4 1/2 pounds of heroin and over 12 1/2 ounces of Fentanyl. Fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine. According to DEA statistics as little as 2 milligrams of Fentanyl can be lethal and the amount seized by Group 6 in 2025 could have potentially caused almost 180,000 overdoses.
Other drugs seized included over 30 1/2 pounds of cocaine and over 5 1/2 ounces of crack; almost 55 pounds of methamphetamine ICE and over 80 1/2 pounds of marijuana. The task force seized almost 28,000 prescription pills with over 16,000 of those pills being opioids along with almost 650 bottles of promethazine.
