(South Bend, IN) - An area man in possession of enough fentanyl to kill most of the state of Wyoming has been rounded up in Texas.
Indiana State Police raided the South Bend home of 40-year-old Regis Owens last month. He had already fled, but authorities say they found two and a half pounds of fentanyl, one pound of suspected heroin, more than 1,000 pills, a stolen handgun, and two fentanyl presses.
According to authorities, the fentanyl alone was enough to kill 566,000 people, which is also more than the populations of St. Joseph and La Porte Counties combined.
On Wednesday Owens was tracked down by U.S. Marshals in a town near Houston, Texas, where he is currently awaiting extradition.
