"Ted Budd knows the dangers faced by the men and women serving in law enforcement," Ben Kral, the NCTA President, said in a statement exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital.

"Opioid abuse is devastating our communities. When fentanyl is smuggled across our southern border, it can be in North Carolina in less than 72 hours, and it’s our officers having to confront these violent criminals as they transport these dangerous drugs into North Carolina," Kral added.
