Police indicated that four people ingested the laced cocaine while three others who performed CPR were impacted because they got the drug on their lips while trying to help their friends.

Casseus was arrested after a Broward County Sheriff’s Office undercover detective bought 43 grams of cocaine for $1,000, NBC reported. Police said the transaction was audio and video recorded.

“This incident serves as a stark reminder to all, especially those visiting for Spring Break, of the deadly impacts of Fentanyl. This synthetic opioid continues to have detrimental impacts on many communities, and our agency remains committed to drug prevention and intervention initiatives,” Wilton Manors Police posted on Facebook.
