Expert Insights
Spotsylvania police recently executed a search warrant on a man accused of selling drugs to high school students. They actually found a stash of drugs, cash, and weapons in his possession.
While law enforcement personnel work towards mitigating drug transportation in this highly trafficked area, the state is searching for their own solutions for students. With overdoses near record highs, many people have called for a budget increase to supply middle and high schools with naloxone — an opioid drug reversal that saves lives in acute overdose situations.
While some parents scoff, it is the students that need interventions on the spot.
