CARROLLTON Despite a spate of overdoses and deaths stemming from the use of the pharmaceutical drug fentanyl during the past week, Greene County officials believe it’s more of a fluke than an indication of a growing problem.
Three people overdosed on fentanyl on Feb. 4 in the county, and two of those people a Roodhouse man and a Wrights woman died as a result. A fourth person overdosed on Saturday.
“It’s kind of rare,” Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen said, adding that they more typically might see one fentanyl overdose in a month. “These were just clustered together. It’s not common for this county.”
