SHELBYVILLE — The Shelby County Prosecutor has issued a warning after "extra-deadly" drugs have resulted in an increase in overdoses.
On Wednesday, three unrelated overdoses were already reported, Prosecutor Brad Landwerlen said. One person died and two people were given naloxone and taken to a local hospital.
In the first four days of 2021, there were four fatal overdoses in the county, Landwerlen said.
Landwerlen is warning people with substance use disorders, or people who know someone with a substance use disorder, about the drugs being used in the county.
He's urging anyone who needs help to contact the prosecutor's office at 317-392-6444 for more information on available resources.
