Ohio's senior senator, Democrat Sherrod Brown, has been around a long time, and he knows that good legislation is good politics.

The flow of drugs hasn't slowed, and Cincinnati and Dayton remain key locations for dealers, Ken Parker says.

Brown stopped by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in Cincinnati on Wednesday to explain how the legislation would target the drug's suppliers and make treating drug addiction easier in Ohio.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent a statement to º£½ÇÉçÇø saying the agency does believe some officers nationwide, including Ohio, have experienced medical symptoms after encountering fentanyl. None of those cases involved actual overdoses and none appeared life-threatening.

The DEA has announced fentanyl combined with xylazine as an emerging drug threat.

The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning that drug dealers are marketing rainbow-colored fentanyl to kids. Many drug experts say that's likely not happening.

Sixteen people have died since last Saturday in Hamilton County from suspected overdoses. Nineteen people have been treated at local hospitals in the last two days. Hamilton County Public Health says the signs point to high levels of fentanyl in the local drug supply.

After two Ohio State University students died of a possible drug overdose and a third was hospitalized, the university warned students of possible counterfeit Adderall pills laced with fentanyl in circulation. Resident Agent of Cincinnati’s DEA office Joe Reder says there's been an increase in fentanyl-laced pills in the area.

Two students at Ohio State University recently died of overdoses that may have been caused by fentanyl-laced Adderall.
