(Helena) Attorney General Austin Knudsen announced Tuesday authorities seized less fentanyl and made more drug-related felony arrests, including arrests of Mexican drug cartel members, in 2024 compared to 2023.
In 2024, Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (RMHIDTA) task forces seized just over 275,000 fentanyl doses, which is down from the near 400,000 total in 2023.
RMHIDTA task forces also made 551 felony arrests compared to 406 in 2023 – a 36 percent increase.
