'Extremely dangerous' tainted drugs on Fargo streets believed connected to overdose deaths

FARGO, N.D. --Three overdose deaths in one week, possibly related to dangerous fentanyl-laced heroin, have prompted a coordinated area law enforcement response, with dire warnings to the public and a round of arrests of suspected suppliers.

In a news conference at noon on Sunday, the heads of multiple local law enforcement agencies made pleas for public vigilance as an uptick of illicit opiate overdoses is being seen around the region, Fargo Police Chief David Todd said.

"What happens in any one of our cities, really happens to us as a community as a whole and we have to tackle this issue together," Todd said.
