Congress has voted to temporarily extend a sweeping tool that has helped federal agents crack down on drugs chemically similar to fentanyl. The Senate on Thursday, April 29, 2021, approved legislation extending until October an order that allows the federal government to classify so-called fentanyl analogues as Schedule I controlled substances. The drugs are generally foreign-made with a very close chemical makeup to the dangerous opioid. (U.S. Attorneys Office for Utah via AP, File)
It was a very successful Drug Take-Back Day in Door County.
The Door County Sheriff’s Office announced that deputies collected 110 pounds of unused prescription medications. Since the last drug take-back event, the sheriffs have gathered 658 pounds so far.
Door County Sheriff’s Department tells residents that if they still have unwanted medication, they can drop it off Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Permanent Drug Drop Box located in the lobby.
There are six permanent drop boxes in Manitowoc County, including one in the office lobby.
