Dozens indicted in Middle Tennessee fentanyl network linked to gang activity
A major undercover investigation has led to the indictment of 33 people linked to illegal drugs, gang activity and firearms.
The Murfreesboro Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation launched the probe in November 2023 after a deadly fentanyl overdose in Murfreesboro.
The investigation uncovered a network of high-level fentanyl distributors operating out of Nashville and supplying surrounding areas, including Murfreesboro.
They also executed 17 residential search warrants, and found weapons linked to homicides.
Detectives say the operation could have delivered lethal doses of fentanyl to more than three million people.
The investigation was supported by several agencies, including the Metro Nashville Police Department and the DEA.
