UNION COUNTY â The La Grande Police Department and the Center for Human Development issued a warning late Friday afternoon, April 23, about fentanyl-laced drugs.
Over the course of the last several weeks, La Grande police has seen an alarming trend in calls for service that appear to be related to overdoses of suspected counterfeit opioid pills, according to the statement. In several of these cases, police have recovered pills that are similar in appearance to the counterfeit fentanyl-laced opioid pills that have been related to fatal overdoses in communities all over the U.S. These pills are sometimes called Blues or M30s.
