..."Authorities said late Friday that they have made an arrest but did not offer more specifics about the person’s identity. Florida officials have only identified the patients as college students from the state of New York. However, a spokeswoman from the U.S. Military Academy said Saturday that five West Point cadets were involved and four of them were transported to the hospital.
A West Point official told the Associated Press on Friday that two of the cadets involved were football players, and one of them was hospitalized. West Point officials said they did not have any update on Monday morning.
Florida officials told the AP on Friday afternoon that two of the patients were critically ill and on ventilators. The rest were in stable or good condition and at least one had been released from the hospital.
“This incident serves as a stark reminder to all, especially those visiting for Spring Break, of the deadly impacts of Fentanyl,” the Wilton Manors police said in a statement.
The investigation is continuing."
