Sheriff comments on fentanyl social media rumors

Posted by Staff on August 23, 2022 - 12:54pm

August 23, 2022

It has come to my attention that there is a social media rumor claiming there has been fentanyl laced currency found at the Allen County Fair. Local residents, concerned citizens and now even national media outlets have called us questioning this story. I want to be abundantly clear that this is a rumor and has absolutely no truth to it. No such event has taken place at the fair. It’s unfortunate that the hard work of the Allen County Fair Board and many other volunteers would be over shadowed by such a false statement. When utilizing social media please think twice before you like, comment, or share; especially when the story is vague with limited information and the proliferation of that story can cause widespread panic. The Allen County Fair is a joyous, family event that many agencies work very hard to keep safe.
