Two people have been arrested and charged after seven Virginia elementary students ate gummy bears from a plastic baggie that later tested positive for the potentially deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl, the Amherst County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

At first, it seemed the students were having an allergic reaction to something they ate Tuesday, Amherst County Public Schools said. The sheriff’s office conducted a field test of the bag, which had “a positive reaction for fentanyl,” the school district said.

“Preliminary investigation shows the students ingested gummy bears from a plastic baggie. In that baggie contained a residue, and the residue tested positive for fentanyl,” sheriff’s spokesperson Lt. Dallas Hill told CNN.

Maybe I'm translating it wrong, but I think it says they interviewed the people who were hospitalized. That's how they found out it was a guy passing them out.

You would think they would have found him by now, yet I haven't seen any follow-up news about what happened.

Welp, the Yahoo! link is dead now.

Based on what you copied, I guess he communicated in some way with the police but it doesn't say what the police did in response.

Like I said, it feels so intentionally vague. For whatever reason, they don't want this case or the fate of the man to be reported on for now.

I still don't think he was trying to make kids take drugs or hurt anyone like the two in OP's report.
