6 Spring Breakers Overdose on Fentanyl-Laced Cocaine in FL Including Army Football Player
Six young college students overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine while partying in Florida during their spring break. One of the victims is a football player at West Point Academy. The six students were staying at a rental vacation home in Florida for their Spring Break, said officials.
Two were cadets from the U.S. Military Academy, and a West point official told the Associated Press one of the cadets hospitalized is an Army football player. The rental home was in the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale, and one person was arrested late Friday in connection with selling the drugs.

Immediately after the victims used the drug on Thursday, two went into cardiac arrest. Two people who did not take the drug attempted to administer CPR, causing them to absorb enough fentanyl to also suffer overdoses.
All six individuals were taken to the hospital, and as of Friday, one had been released, two remained in critical condition and on ventilators, and three were in stable condition said police. Some of the kids were able to regain a heartbeat after being given the drug Narcan, but four were still in respiratory arrest when they were transported to the hospital.
A neighbor describes the terrifying scene: “we saw paramedics pulling kids out of the house unconscious and just laying them on the grass” said Dana Fumosa. According to the Sun-Sentinel, six victims were found at all different overdose states, and a seventh person, a woman, was also later taken to the hospital and treated.
A name was released in connection to the arrest, and Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Stephen Gollan stated the overdoses “brings great concern that there could be other ODs over the next couple of days.”

Sara Carter joined Fox News host Steve Hilton to discuss one aspect of the border crisis no one is talking about: what happens to the drug money?
The crisis continues to increase, so we have to ask ourselves, “what happens when the money goes back?” questions Carter of the money cartels make.
“According to the United States government, the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Mexican drug cartels are actually funneling that money back through Chinese banks” explains Carter.
“We are losing our children” says Carter, while “not only are the drug cartels taking advantage of our national security crisis, but the enemies of our country are taking advantage of the national security crisis at our border.”
“We are losing a generation of Americans” from the dangerous drugs crossing the border. “What is the Biden administration going to do about that?” begs Carter. Those questions need to be posed “directly to the administration.”

People just don’t understand, it only takes 2 mg of fentanyl to kill you. George Floyd swallowed more than 4, it’s what actually killed him. And it doesn’t make any difference how soon EMT’s get there… You’re dead! And if anyone tries to give you mouth to mouth, they’re dead too! Hundreds of thousands of people are dying from fentanyl they’re not even aware they’re taking, but Biden will spend trillions of our dollars defending Ukraine’s border instead of ours! Does that sound like a president that cares about America??
