A police dog in Navajo County, Arizona, has found five pounds of fentanyl concealed in cereal boxes. The drug was discovered after a traffic stop in which the dog found the drugs hidden inside Lucky Charms and Cocoa Puffs boxes. The three occupants of the car were arrested on multiple drug charges. They include Branyel Dquan Johnson from Phoenix, and Na-Tasha Nicole Peoples, of New Mexico.

The drug is so powerful that it can kill in under four minutes. The drug has an extremely high lethal effect, so it is crucial to detect its presence. Drug detection dogs have become an essential tool for preventing fatal drug overdoses. However, these dogs are not always effective in sniffing out drugs. Police officers often must collect evidence from an overdose scene to prove their case.
