Georgia man arrested in Florida with enough fentanyl to kill nearly 170,000 people, authorities say

James Duke, of Georgia, was arrested in Flagler County, Florida, early Sunday with enough fentanyl to kill nearly 170,000 people, according to authorities.

Deputies had responded to an alarm at the gas station and found Duke sleeping in a black Ford Ranger parked behind the building. After a deputy woke him up, Duke claimed he had permission to be there and gave a fake name, the sheriff’s office said.

The deputy eventually learned Duke’s correct name and that he had a non-extraditable arrest warrant from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee for failure to appear in court.
