Ohio police chief overdosed on drugs taken from evidence room, investigators say
An Ohio police chief who died of a fentanyl overdose allegedly took the drugs from his department's evidence room, authorities say.
Kirkersville Police Chief James Hughes Jr., 35, was found unresponsive in the bathroom of his Reynoldsburg home on May 25. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Reynoldsburg Police Department Lt. Ron Wright said the department is still investigating, but evidence shows the drugs were possibly evidence in other cases.
Wright said it appears Hughes took the drugs himself from the evidence room.
"There was packaging that indicated that he was taking controlled substances from there," he said.
