Lelia learned all she could about the synthetic opioid that accounts for a large portion of the roughly 3,000 people who die each year from opioids in Illinois. On Monday, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced charges against Luke Napolitano a 20-year-old Barrington man who this past December reportedly sold another 20-year-old man “drugs laced with fentanyl that caused his death,” according to a news release from Raoul’s office.“Fentanyl-laced drugs are incredibly dangerous and continue to wreak havoc in communities across our country,” Raoul said in the news release Monday.
Lelia contacted the office of state Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, a Naperville Democrat, and submitted her idea for a legislation change via email.
