Overdose investigation leads to drug bust, 1,000+ fentanyl pills

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — An investigation into a Round Rock overdose led to a drug bust in Austin where Williamson County Sheriff’s Office investigators found 1,060 suspected fentanyl pills, other narcotics and a stolen gun, the agency said in a press release Monday.

“The distribution of fentanyl and other dangerous substances will not be tolerated in
Williamson County. We will use every resource at our disposal to identify, arrest, and
bring to justice those responsible for endangering our community,” Sheriff Mike
Gleason said in a statement.

Photos of what the authorities seized are below.

The bust happened at a home on West Parmer Lane near the intersection of Lakeline Boulevard. Kelley Reeves Stadium, a gas station, apartment complex and several small restaurants were in the area. The sheriff’s office did not identify an exact address where they initiated the search warrant that led to the bust, nor did the press release on the incident mention any arrests. KXAN reached out to the sheriff’s office for more details and will update this story as that information becomes available.
