An Alabama veterinarian has been arrested for reportedly buying nearly 36,000 fatal doses of fentanyl with bitcoins on the dark web. The investigation revealed it was Wallace who purchased the fentanyl from the dark web using bitcoins. The pair were arrested Monday and are being held in the Shelby County Jail with no bond. Lt. Clay Hammac, Commander of the Shelby County Drug Enforcement Task Force, warned that Wallace and Leslie's delivery could have contained enough fatal doses to kill tens of thousands of people. Fentanyl has blamed as a factor in America's spirally opioid epidemic and has been responsible for a rise in fatal overdoses.
