February 23rd – A couple in Arizona recently bought a doll for their daughter from a thrift store.
While cleaning the plush toy, they accidentally found that there were more than 5,000 tablets of fentanyl hidden in it.
According to the New York Daily News on the 22nd, the Phoenix, Arizona Police Department said in a statement that the couple bought the plush toy in a thrift store last week and were going to give it to the child after cleaning it.
