On Thursday, law enforcement officials from the Lauderdale County Drug Task Force conducted a search at a residence located on Trade Street in Florence. During this operation, they discovered and confiscated approximately 2,500 fentanyl pills, which are valued at an estimated $25,000 on the street. The resident of the home, identified as 24-year-old Corbin Daywen Timmons, was taken into custody and now faces serious charges, including trafficking in fentanyl and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
Reports indicate that in a desperate attempt to evade capture, Timmons allegedly discarded the pills out of a window just before the authorities arrived. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the prevalence of fentanyl and its associated dangers in the community.
