KHTS Radio Santa Clarita Radio – Santa Clarita News
Northern Los Angeles County, which includes Santa Clarita, has the highest amount of Fentanyl-related overdoses in the area, prompting a press conference from Action Drug and Rehab, KHTS Radio and several elected officials next week.
The press conference is set to take place a day after National Fentanyl Awareness Day, and is expected to give parents an opportunity to learn how easy it is for young children to accidentally get their hands on Fentanyl, as it is often laced into a variety of narcotics including marijuana.

Due to Santa Clarita having some of the most Fentanyl overdoses in L.A. County, Cary Quashen with Action Drug and Rehab is holding a press conference to discuss the growing pandemic Monday at 2:30 p.m.
During the press conference, Quashen is will be joined by KHTS Radio, Congressman Mike Garcia, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, Captain Justin Diez with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, Captain Brandon Dean with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Narcotics Bureau, Joe Messina with the Hart District and Santa Clarita Mayor Laurene Weste.
“Santa Clarita and the northern part of L.A. County, including Palmdale and Lancaster, are the highest areas for Fentanyl overdoses,” Dean said.
With Fentanyl being laced in most narcotics now, Quashen said drug users are playing a dangerous game of Russian Roulette.
“It’s Russian Roulette, just not with one bullet but two,” Quashen said. “Every drug out there today is made from Fentanyl, there are not real drugs out there anymore. Any time you buy pills or drugs on the black market, it’s Fentanyl.”
With the continuing Fentanyl crisis growing, and Quashen fearing a mass overdose rate to come, he urged all Santa Clarita residents that are available to join this free event.
“Due to the national pandemic of drug overdoses with fentanyl, Action Drug and Rehab is hosting a press conference outlining this crisis,” Quashen said.
The event is scheduled for Monday Aug. 22, at 2:30 p.m., and is set to be located at 22722 Soledad Canyon Road in Santa Clarita.

Latchkey kids ??
All of this is happening from the feeble and inept Biden Administration, with there Open Borders policy that is enabling the drug cartels to flow more drugs into the U.S. than in history. Democrat voters thought they elected a progressive and centrist President. Instead they realized Dementia Joe’s Handlers are unleashing Marxism instead.
Thanks Liberals, you’re trying to ruin another USA city! Look what the Demonic, deceitful Liberals have already done from Seattle to LA, Chicago, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Kenosha, Michigan, Philadelphia, NY, etc., etc.!! Wake up, not Woke up Sheeple!
It’s Awesometown!?!
Voter fraud. That’s it.
The people frauded into office are of poor quality. Mike ‘photo ops’ Garcia is your typical run of the mill example of toe the line doesn’t make waves status quo representative; And He’s the best one!
We can have meeting after meeting. Bang our fists on the podium. Talk and talk till our vocal cords and ears bleed.
BUT,
As long as we can’t have fair and trustworthy elections we’ll keep seeing “defund the police” open borders and George Gascón like officials releasing the perpetrators.
They, the democracy/progressives, are going after the Sheriff’s too. When they get rooted out….well… I guess it becomes the old west.
Our local elections are all fixed. Look what happened with the Gascon recall. We are going down fast.
Tooooo many unusual coincidences! Evil, deceitful CCP Liberals!
Hey Joe where ya goin with that cone in your hand?
Can we get the drug sniffing dogs at the schools? They already have to show their ID’s to get in. Why not have a dog sitting there with them and walking the campus.
Why not hire 87000 border patrol agents to go after the drugs instead of 87000 IRS agents to go after us.At least Joe is using the money from the inflation bill to build a wall around his beach house so he doesn’t have to see the carnage he’s left behind from his policies.
Explain the wall around his beach house, please.
The concentration is “north east LA County, which also includes Antelope valley communities, Gorman, Palmdale, Lancaster, Lake Los Angeles, Littlejohn, etc.
The article should have gathered specifics about what communities are most impacted, but it does not.
No one has mentioned parents.
The kids are learning from their parent(s), mentors, teachers & saturated despicable Liberal Media! The kids don’t need more free taxpayer handouts of Free meals at schools when they can go to the local free taxpayer parks & turn up the Gangster Rap (PC called hip hop/rap to sell, sell, sell to the brainwashed minds of mush), do their primitive graffiti & make tons of $$$ selling fentanyl, etc.!
This is all trumps fault
