San Bernardino County(Thechieftainspear) – Authorities are investigating a frightening incident at a Victorville day care where a child tested positive for fentanyl exposure after reportedly ingesting unknown pills found on the premises.
San Bernardino County deputies were called to La Petite Academy on Bear Valley Road on March 18 following reports that blue pills had been discovered in a classroom. Staff members quickly gathered the pills and notified law enforcement.
Investigators identified the pills, which were imprinted with “M30,” as potentially counterfeit and laced with fentanyl, a highly potent opioid.
