AL Department Investigating Missing Drugs

A substantial quantity of missing Fentanyl has prompted the Dothan Fire Department to conduct an investigation.

Officials said it was unclear if the drugs were stolen or if it was an administrative error, WTVY News 4 reported.

According to Dothan Fire Chief Larry Williams, the Dothan Fire Department and Drug Enforcement Agency have been investigating since the Fentanyl could not be accounted for in late February. The fire department is fully cooperating with the investigation.

News 4 reported that multiple sources have told them that 30 to 40 glass Fentanyl vials are unaccounted for in Dothan, though Williams would not confirm that number.

Department officials said they have updated their drug handling protocols.
