(WTOL-11) – Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn was in the nation’s capital for a ceremony at the White House.

Wasylyshyn is a board member of the National Sheriffs’ Association and was invited to the signing of the Halt Fentanyl Act.

The bill aims to permanently classify all fentanyl-related drugs as schedule one substances.

This classification is designed to give law enforcement the resources needed to combat the fentanyl crisis.
