In the wake of drug overdose deaths in Georgia, Fond du Lac police and Drug Free Communities of Fond du Lac County are reminding Fond du Lac County residents not to share medications. The warning follows a story out of Georgia, where a small yellow pill which looks to be a prescription drug from a pharmacy, has led to dozens of overdoses and as many as four deaths. The report says in some cases, someone thinking they are legitimate prescriptions is purchasing these drugs off the street. Ellen Sorensen with Drug Free Communities says while the yellow pills have not surfaced in Fond du Lac, police officers have encountered pills of various colors that appear to be a legitimate pharmaceutical. Police Chief Bill Lamb says they are not legitimate and in some instances, they have been deadly.
