Three people were arrested after allegedly supplying drugs to seven Providence College students who overdosed during an off-campus party, according to police.
Providence police said officers responded to the party last week on Liege Street in Providence, Rhode Island, where they located four students passed out in the front yard of the home, according to WBZ-TV. A total of seven people at the party overdosed, were given Narcan, and were then transported to a hospital, where they reported they were conscious and alert.
Officers later searched a home on Hawkins Street and seized about 20 grams of fentanyl, $1,700 in cash, two rifles and three handguns, including a “ghost gun.”
