LANE COUNTY— In recent years, there have been numerous reports of people discovering folded one dollar bills that contain illegal and potentially dangerous drugs, according to a statement from the Lane County Sheriff.
"While using folded money or paper to transport drugs has long been a common practice, the emergence of substances like Fentanyl has made it exceptionally hazardous."
On Sunday, a citizen contacted the on-duty Deputy to report that they had found a folded one dollar bill in their yard.
Upon unfolding it, a white substance spilled out. The bill was confiscated and field tested positive for Methamphetamine. Further field tests for Opiates and Fentanyl were negative.
The Sheriff's department reminded, "it is important to remain vigilant about potential hazards in your surroundings."
