Fentanyl pills appear in Kyle

By Megan Wehring 

KYLE –The Kyle Police Department has responded to at least 16 overdoses relating to fentanyl this year, with seven of those resulting in death – the largest presence of fentanyl and other street drugs seen in the city.

Kyle PD warns the public that many of the overdoses, including some deaths, involve teenagers ranging from 14 to 18 years old. Most teenagers are getting access to the pills by buying them through phone apps – sellers are advertising using various applications, and they arrange for transactions in-person.
