"Responding to a report of multiple unresponsive individuals at 44 Liege St., Providence emergency personnel found four people on the front lawn and three more being carried outside the house. First responders treated the students with Narcan and transported them to nearby hospitals, where they were deemed "conscious and alert," the Providence Police Department said. On Saturday, detectives identified a suspect believed to have supplied narcotics to one of the students who overdosed, Providence police said."
""This investigation reflects the department's continued commitment to combating the deadly flow of fentanyl and illegal firearms into our community," said Col. Oscar L. Perez, the city's chief of police. "The coordinated efforts of our Narcotics and Organized Crime Bureau ensured that dangerous weapons and narcotics were removed from the streets of Providence." Williams and Patterson are both facing multiple charges, including illegally owning a firearm and possessing cocaine and fentanyl with intent to deliver."
