The 21217 ZIP code, which encompasses the Penn North neighborhood where Thursday’s overdoses took place, was by far the leader in naloxone administration by city fire personnel from 2022 to 2024.

He was arrested following a months-long investigation into an individual believed to be trafficking narcotics.

Police searched the home of 41-year old Branden Gywayne Givens and found 82 grams of fentanyl, enough to kill more than 4-thousand people with fatal overdoses.

Sara Lay admitted to stealing 255 vials of fentanyl that had gone missing in 2024 and doctoring drug records at the center.

Authorities reportedly eized 75 grams of fentanyl, 278 grams of cocaine, 47 grams of crack cocaine and a loaded P80 handgun with no serial number during the search.

The chemical is bis (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate, also called BTMPS, which is in a group of chemicals called hindered amine light stabilizers. BTMPS is usually added to plastics, coatings, and adhesives to protect them from weathering and UV radiation.

Four people were taken into custody Thursday night after authorities said they were trying to smuggle contraband into an Alabama prison. Alabama Department of Corrections officers were alerted to possible trespassers at Ventress Correctional Facility in Clayton.

A Collin County jury has convicted a man of murder for dealing fentanyl, a first for the county. Gregory Honesty was sentenced to 38 years for providing a fatal fentanyl pill to Zoe Behen. Zoe's parents hope this ruling encourages other states to adopt similar "murder by fentanyl" laws.
