FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) â With how much fentanyl theyâve seen in the past several years, attorneys in Williamson County say itâs become a top priority to prosecute those who âput this poison on our streets to the highest extent of the law.â
Fentanyl was hardly on his radar ten years ago when Assistant District Attorney Carlin Hess was merely an intern at the very offices he now works from in Williamson County. Heâs only prosecuted two drug-induced homicide cases in his career before this year. Now he has several on his plate, with four of them involving fentanyl abuse.
