A bad batch of drugs left 9 people dead in Gadsden County over the holiday weekend, according to local officials.
After two women were found dead of an apparent overdose Friday, the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office put out an alert seeking the public’s help to warn others of the possibly polluted drug supply. An autopsy is pending for a final determination as to the cause of death.
"Here in Gadsden, I have not heard of any opioid poisoning here in the county as it relates to fentanyl," said Sheriff Morris A. Young in a Facebook video. "But on Friday, it was very apparent that it was here in the county, and we had about 15 calls related to it."
