Pulaski Police Warn Residents About Dangerous Fentanyl Exposures
Summary
Pulaski Police warned of an increase in dangerous fentanyl exposures, saying even tiny amounts — sometimes found in everyday items — can be lethal and advising residents not to handle suspected drugs or paraphernalia.
Pulaski Police warned residents in Giles County this week about an increase in potentially deadly fentanyl exposures, the Pulaski Citizen reported. Investigators Corey Medley and Lake Foster told the wrap that fentanyl can be present in small amounts and in various forms and urged people not to touch or handle suspected drugs.
The report said investigators explained everyday items such as straws or small containers can be used as drug paraphernalia and that fentanyl poses heightened risk because it can be absorbed through contact or inhalation. Police emphasized the safety precaution that residents should avoid handling suspicious items and should contact law enforcement rather than attempting to move or examine unknown substances.
The warning was presented as a public-safety advisory; the Pulaski Citizen segment did not include quotations from a formal police press release or a recorded statement from the department beyond the investigators’ remarks. No additional investigative details or incident counts were provided in the broadcast.
