NAPLES, Fla. (WFLA) — A suspected drug trafficker was arrested Tuesday after detectives seized enough fentanyl from him to potentially kill over 30,000 people, according to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.

In a social media post, CCSO revealed that around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, detectives arrested Kevin Dylan Jensen, 31, and seized more than 60 grams of the deadly opioid that they say was in his possession.

Jensen was pulled over for a traffic stop at the intersection of Pine Ridge Road and Napa Boulevard in Naples.

A CCSO K-9 alerted authorities to the presence of narcotics after conducting a free-air examination around his vehicle.

In a probable cause search of Jensen’s vehicle, Collier County deputies found 47.5 grams of fentanyl, $2,357 in cash, an unspecified amount of cocaine, and other drug paraphernalia.

Deputies with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office arrested Jensen and charged him with trafficking in fentanyl and possession of cocaine.

“We are taking a zero-tolerance approach to fentanyl trafficking in Collier County,” said Sheriff Kevin Rambosk. “This poison continues to take lives, and we will continue to target dealers who put lives at risk. Through our Laced & Lethal initiative, we are not only aggressively enforcing the law but also working to educate the public on the dangers of fentanyl.”

Jensen was also served with additional warrants at the Collier County Jail regarding incidents in February and March, where Jensen was accused of selling a total of 13 grams of fentanyl to undercover CCSO detectives.
