“Fentanyl deaths are a nationwide epidemic. My office, along with our law enforcement partners and our District Attorney’s Office, are working each day to bring criminals who distribute this poison to justice,” said Catawba County Sheriff Don Brown.
Carroll is being held without bond in the Catawba County Detention Facility and will make his first appearance in the Catawba County District Court on Friday.
