Alaska State Troopers reported Tuesday that authorities had seized a half pound of heroin and more than 200 illicit pills during a Friday bust at Ketchikan International Airport.
Authorities arrested 27-year-old woman from Prince of Wales Island who allegedly brought the contraband in on an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle
In a sworn statement filed in court, State Trooper Larry Dur’an said officers were waiting for Annette Arlene Dilts of Hydaburg and served a search warrant. She reportedly had concealed 250 grams of black tar heroin and more than 200 pills marked as oxycodone but suspected of being fentanyl inside a body cavity. Fentanyl is a much more powerful and cheaply-produced opiate drug. The pills have been sent to the Alaska state crime lab to be identified.

Ketchikan’s airport officials say don’t be alarmed by the sight of flashing lights, ambulances and fire crews at the Ketchikan International Airport on Saturday.
The airport’s security supervisor Mark Sivertsen says it’s only a drill.
“So every three years we have to do a live emergency exercise drill that involves a simulated airplane crash with all the first responders, pretty much, in Ketchikan coming over.”
In past years, locals have volunteered to be victims, complete with moulage makeup and tagged with cards detailing their injuries. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sivertsen says mannequins and cardboard cutouts will be used.
