18 Suspected Laced Drug Overdoses in Four Hours in New Haven
Emergency personnel were called to help one person near the city park as officials were holding a news conference Wednesday.
Alston says some victims were unconscious, some were nauseous, some were lethargic and some were in respiratory distress. Officials say anti-overdose drugs given to some victims did not work.

City officials said about 18 people were taken to hospitals Wednesday morning and three others fell ill Tuesday night. No deaths were reported.
Fire Chief John Alston Jr. says the victims apparently consumed K2 synthetic marijuana, but investigators will await toxicology test results to confirm that. Synthetic marijuana is plant material sprayed with chemicals that can mimic the high from real marijuana.
Alston says some victims were unconscious, some were nauseous, some were lethargic and some were in respiratory distress. Officials say anti-overdose drugs given to some victims did not work.
The small, shiny packets that claim to hold only scented potpourri look harmless. One, a bubble gum variety of Scooby Doo Snax, bears a classically goofy image of the clue-sniffing dog. Another, Barely Legal, hints at naughtiness with a cartoon rendering of a woman’s torso.
But the police and city health officials say that the contents, drugs known loosely as synthetic marijuana, or K2, is wholly illegal and dangerous. A particularly toxic batch was responsible for a mass overdose in Brooklyn over the weekend, sickening at least 56 people and leading to at least 15 arrests since Saturday.
