On Thursday, April 24, 2025, the Grundy County Sheriff’s office released the following statement:
In the last 4 weeks, our community has experienced 8 Opioid Overdoses. Half of them have became fatal. That’s 8 families impacted. And far too many reminders that this crisis is here.
A dangerous substance is circulating in our area, and we need your help. Fentanyl is being laced with most drugs we are coming across. These overdoses are being investigated but it takes time.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please know that you aren’t alone. If you have information about who is selling or distributing these substances, please come forward. You can remain anonymous, we care more about saving lives than making a headline. Help is here for anyone who needs it.
Narcan is free at almost any health department in Tennessee. Please get this item, user or not, it may help save a life.
