GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — The Green Bay Police Department has opened an investigation after receiving a suspicious package on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, containing narcotics that was mailed through the United States Postal Service and addressed to Police Chief Chris Davis.
The package was intercepted internally before reaching the Chief and found to contain 3.02 grams of fentanyl, .79 grams of cocaine, and a letter of explanation, which have been processed as evidence.
The department does not believe the package was sent with malicious intent.
“We get lots of correspondence from the community here in the Chief’s Office, but this is the first time anyone has ever sent us drugs.” Said Chief Chris Davis. “It probably should go without saying, but please don’t send us drugs in the mail.”
To properly dispose of unwanted drugs, prescriptions can be placed in the drug drop box at the police station. People can dispose of liquids or creams in plastic bags. No glass is allowed in the drop box.
If you have illegal substances, call the police non-emergency number and an officer will assist you. Jennifer Gonzalez, Communications Coordinator with the department, says that the goal is to create a safer community, and charges may not be pressed.
