BATON ROUGE - Deputies seized thousands of lethal fentanyl pills and made multiple arrests after a months-long probe into drug activities that involved multiple agencies. 

The East Baton Rogue Sheriff's Office said the Thursday that the bust centered around suspected dealer Bernard Kinchen. Deputies got a warrant for Kinchen after conducting multiple undercover purchases of pressed fentanyl. 

EBRSO, along with Ascension deputies, raided multiple properties Thursday and found Kinchen outside his apartment. He reportedly tried to flee, but was soon caught, with deputies finding 400 fentanyl pills in his pockets. 

A second suspect, Caylen Billingsley, was also taken into custody on multiple drug and weapons charges.
