An undercover sting operation has led to the discovery of hundreds of counterfeit drugs in Marion County, and authorities are warning the public that more deadly pills are being distributed in the area.
The 12th Judicial Drug Task Force (DTF) announced Wednesday night that the drugs found were made to look like 30 mg oxycodone pills.

DTF agents say they seized the pills when an armed drug trafficker tried to deliver them to a person in Kimball.
