Synthetic kratom found at another suspected overdose in Oxford
Emergency crews revived a 22-year-old after police found synthetic kratom products at the scene, and officers warned of unpredictable drug risks.
- On Thursday morning, the Oxford Police Department found a 22-year-old unresponsive at a home on Sweetgum Drive around 5 a.m.; emergency officials resuscitated the individual, who is expected to recover and is not an Ole Miss student.
- Earlier this week, Lafayette County Metro Narcotics called on Mississippi lawmakers to ban synthetic kratom, requesting immediate legislative hearings and examination of state controlled substance laws.
- Synthetic kratom products were found at the scene; investigators do not believe the items were purchased in the Oxford area.
- Police stated this incident is not connected to recent death investigations involving Ole Miss students Aidan Hamilton and Robert Strang, who detectives previously linked to "Smax."
- Warning the public about potential dangers, the Oxford Police Department and Lafayette County Metro Narcotics Unit noted that synthetic products can contain unpredictable substances, with investigations remaining ongoing.
