A drug meant for animals is being found mixed with street drugs.
HOUSTON COUNTY, Ala. - Xylazine is a USDA-approved drug that is used for veterinary use but has recently been seen used to lace street drugs, along with fentanyl.
In May, ALEA Senior Trooper Charles May was transporting a subject to Macon County Jail when the person became ill. May reportedly called for emergency services and administered Narcan. After affecting one of their own, ALEA wants people to know the dangers of coming in contact with a powerful drug like xylazine.
“We want to make sure no other family member or no other agency, partner or friend has to deal with such circumstances that we are dealing with ourselves today.”
