Rural Florida county shocked by fentanyl deaths over holiday
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A small, largely rural county west of Florida’s capital saw an unheard-of spike in deadly drug overdoses believed to be caused by fentanyl mixed with other illegal drugs, a sign that the national problem is becoming even more far-reaching.
Then last Friday, calls to emergency services began flooding in. Over the holiday weekend, nine people died and another nine were treated over suspected fentanyl overdoses. It's the latest in a rash of fentanyl deaths around the nation.
“It's shaken the entire community. I feel their pain,” Young said Wednesday. “I'm really treating this like we had a hurricane coming into town. It means that much to me that we could lose people in such a short period of time.”
Gadsden County is largely known for its vegetable and livestock farms, historic Southern buildings and antique shops.
