Edgecombe County paramedics warn about new drug detected in local pill supply

Edgecombe County paramedics are on high alert about carfentanil, a new highly potent synthetic opioid recently found in local pressed pill samples. Detected in April, the presence of carfentanil--though only comprising two percent of the pills--poses a significant overdose risk.
