AMHERST, Va. (AP) — A Virginia sheriff’s office says a group of elementary school students sought medical attention after eating gummy bears from a bag that contained residue that tested positive for fentanyl. The Amherst County Sheriff’s office says seven students at Central Elementary School experienced a reaction after eating the gummy bears at school on Tuesday and five sought medical treatment. The sheriff’s office says the gummies tested negative for foreign substances, but residue in the bag that contained the gummies tested positive for fentanyl in a field test. Two people have been arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and other offenses. Superintendent William Wells says the fourth graders all returned home Tuesday evening.
