NBC Montana reports that collaborating law enforcement agencies scored one of the largest drug busts Montana has ever seen. The drugs seized included 65 pounds of meth, a few pounds of heroin, over 2,000 pills laced with fentanyl, and multiple firearms. 

Federal officials also announced that 22 people are charged with multiple crimes involved with this drug bust. A Mexican cartel was trafficking all these drugs through the city of Butte, and law enforcement was able to prevent these drugs from entering the general population. 

This bust is fantastic news for many folks who live in Montana and have seen how drugs have destroyed many communities. Back in high school in Polson, meth was a massive issue and is still a problem. 

Over the past few years, fentanyl has been killing young adults throughout the state of Montana, and law enforcement are doing their best to help stop the flow of drugs in every community. 

We want to thank all of the law enforcement agencies that helped with this drug bust and prevented dangerous drugs from getting into the population. This report is news to celebrate!
