Laramie County Sheriff Brian Kozak held a news conference on April 9th to update the community on a 15-month fentanyl distribution investigation his office, the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigations and the DEA launched following a tip from a very observant detention deputy.
According to a press release on December 17, 2022, a Laramie County Sheriff’s Office Detention Deputy located a door that had been manipulated going from the detention center laundry room to a secured area within the jail. While investigating the door, a “shattered glass” block was located on the exterior wall of the jail. Detention staff reviewed video footage and identified an inmate who had gained access to the secured area. Further review of video footage identified a vehicle and an individual who was suspected of delivering drugs to the inmate through the opening in the glass block wall.
