Fentanyl Bust: Couple Charged in Kansas City Overdoses

0:00Prosecutors in Jackson County just dropped charges on a 32-year-old man named Myron Mays and his 29-year-old partner, Denazia Miller, for drug trafficking linked to multiple overdoses along Kansas City's Prospect Avenue corridor. Cops spotted seven people hid by overdoses from some mystery substance on two separate nights right in that neighborhood, sparking a quick investigation. A tip lead detectives to a nearby house slinging fentanyl believed to be ground zero for those bad batches hitting the streets. On April 29th, they nab Mays behind the wheel of Miller's ride, packed with big halls of methamphetamine, PCP, and 20 grams of fentanyl, plus over 100 grams of meth, total seized. Both now face heavy trafficking counts. With Mays adding a gun charge, bonds set at $50,000 each as the crackdown on this deadly flow presses on. That's the story for today.
