The Rowan County Fiscal Court issued an urgent warning Monday for people in Rowan County and the surrounding areas.

Emergency Medical Services reported an abnormally high number of overdoses during a 72-hour period. They said that there is evidence of “a very dangerous batch of drugs circulating” and that they are “laced with fentanyl and other drugs”.

County officials encourage people to keep a closer eye on family or friends who are known to use drugs. And If you believe a person may be overdosing, dial 911.
