A man is facing charges after officers working a drug task force investigation in Clark County found roughly 13,000 fentanyl pills and two pounds of meth.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office said its Drug Task Force recently completed a fentanyl investigation which resulted in the arrest of 48-year-old Stephen Van Ness. He was booked into the Clark County Jail on possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute charges.
The sheriff’s office announced the arrest just a day after deputies held a forum to inform the community about the dangers posed by fentanyl.
Vancouver Police officials said they also recently found several fentanyl pills when arresting someone last week. Some of the pills were stuck to the suspect when he was taken into custody.
