OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) The Oklahoma City Police Department says it seized over three pounds of fentanyl last week after a man reported a strange package was delivered to his home that he wasn’t expecting.

A Facebook post shared of the package by police Wednesday shows what appears to be a box with an ‘X’ symbol on the left, a carving of a skull with a knife in its mouth in the middle of the package and a third symbol on the right resembling the numeral one.

“Like, where would it, where did it come from?” Edwin Rios, who lives in the neighborhood the package was found, asked Wednesday.

According to police, the incident happened in a neighborhood near Southwest 25th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on March 5.

The report says the man told police he opened the box inside his house and found a plastic-wrapped item inside of it. The item was wrapped in several layers of plastic, brown paper, and a final layer of electrical tape covered in axle grease. The report said the man realized something wasn’t right, took the package outside and called 911.

“I would be scared,” said Rios. “I would be terrified.”

The report went on to say that authorities verified the contents of the box as testing positive for fentanyl and confirmed it weighed 3.1 pounds. For context, the U.S. drug enforcement agency said two milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal to one person depending on their size, tolerance, and past usage.

The amount of fentanyl found, according to that information, is enough to kill at least 680,388 people. That’s more than what the U.S. Census Bureau reported as the City of Tulsa’s entire population of more than 411,000 people in a 2023 census, and nearly all of Oklahoma City’s population in a census conducted the same year at a little over 702,000 Oklahomans.

“They got to get it off of the streets,” said Rios.

Oklahoma City police declined an interview to answer News 4’s questions about the case.

The heavily redacted police report doesn’t mention where the package came from or who delivered it. It only says the man who received the package noted he did not recognize the return address. The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) says methods like these, to bring fentanyl into the states, are becoming far too common.

“There’s just countless ways in which people tied to these criminal groups are trying to move fentanyl into the United States,” said OBN spokesperson Mark Woodward. “They may try to send multiple packages, thinking if at least a few of them get across that’s profit for the criminal organizations.”

Woodward says situations like Oklahoma City’s latest seizure should serve as a warning to never open a package you are not expecting.

“Anytime somebody receives a package that is not addressed to them, they should notify the shipping company and have them come get it,” said Woodward.

News 4 tried stopping by the victim’s home Wednesday but no one came to the door.

Oklahoma City police haven’t shared any suspect information.
