Senator John Cornyn visited R.L. Turner High school In Carrollton Monday to highlight fentanyl awareness.
The Carrollton-Farmers Branch community has been rattled by a series of juvenile fentanyl overdoses.“We had heard about the fentanyl. We talked about it with my daughter. We talked about drugs all the time, but her friend convinced her like kids do, through peer pressure, to try Percocet. She took a Percocet, and that was it. She had no idea she was taking fentanyl,” said Vaughn.
Law enforcement, superintendents and others spoke about the efforts to deal with the growing crisis of fentanyl.“This legislation is really sort of an omnibus piece of legislation designed to deal with interdiction, prosecution, investigation and also the resources that are available to help address the challenge at the local level,” said Cornyn.
