Jan. 23—ALBANY — The national deluge of fentanyl hasn't bypassed southwest Georgia, and the highly toxic opioid is turning up everywhere and in all types of street drugs, from heroin to cocaine, a state drug enforcement officer told the Dougherty County Commission Monday. Methamphetamine also is ubiquitous and often mixed with fentanyl, a potentially deadly cocktail. "Ten years ago, the main drug you could get was cocaine, then it was shifted to crack cocaine," Eric Schwalls, special agent in charge of the Southwest Georgia Regional Drug Enforcement Office, said.
