You know the drug problem is getting bad
when the police Chief ODs
From an AP article today.
KIRKERSVILLE (AP) — An autopsy shows a police chief in an Ohio village where one of his predecessors was gunned down last year fatally overdosed on the powerful opioid fentanyl.
A report released Friday by the Franklin County Coroner’s Office says Kirkersville Police Chief James Hughes’ death in May at his Reynoldsburg home was an accident. Investigators found one syringe with fentanyl residue, a second with fentanyl in a liquid, and a sandwich bag containing cocaine residue.
This is in Ohio.
