CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WWBT) - After completing a two-month investigation, Chesterfield County Sheriffâs Office intelligence personnel and detectives arrested six people in connection with a drug scheme targeting Chesterfield County Jail.
According to the investigation, a letter found in an inmateâs belongings contained almost two dozen Suboxone strips.
Suboxone strips are placed under the tongue and can easily be concealed in between paper, under postage stamps, and even under envelope flaps, making it hard to see through the use of x-ray technology.
Suboxone is a trade name for buprenorphine and naloxone mixtures, which are manmade drugs and can be addictive and, in some cases, can result in overdoses.
