The number of drug overdose deaths continues to climb in Texas and across the country federal agents and civilians team up to reverse the trend.
According to Drug Enforcement Agency officials, they’ve recently seized large amounts of methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl.
In November 2021, Sarah Chittum’s son Seth bought a pill from a friend he thought was Xanax. Diagnosed with PTSD, after being the victim of a shooting, Chittum believes her son took the pill to help him go to sleep. Tragically, the 21-year-old was found dead in bed the morning after taking the pill laced with a lethal dose of fentanyl. "I may of thought he would drink too much, or get in a car wreck, or every worry that a parent has," said Chittum.
