Fentanyl, Shotgun, and a Sleeping Felon

A man in Indianapolis was found passed out behind the wheel of his car in the middle of a busy intersection, still in drive, with a loaded shotgun and a mountain of fentanyl and other drugs beside him. Police spent 20 minutes trying to wake him up before SWAT had to intervene with a flash bang and ballistic shield. Over 10 grams of fentanyl, cocaine, and marijuana were seized, plus an unregistered shotgun. The scene required 30 officers and shut down traffic. Phillips, a violent felon with a history of drug and firearm offenses—including being labeled a habitual offender in 2009—was taken to the hospital where more fentanyl was found. He now faces multiple felony charges, including possession of narcotics and a firearm with prior convictions. This chilling case underscores the deadly intersection of addiction, violence, and law enforcement response. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
