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."

1. That was a bad deal about the West Point cadets at spring break. I was wondering if someone had the

idea that it would be cool to do some coke because that wouldn't stay in their system, and they got fentanyl laced coke. I could see that happening. Away from the academy, ready to party and break some rules. The hell of it is, I doubt coke is a huge thing with those kinds of kids. They may have had no interest in it if they could have smoked weed.
