Children required medical attention

Two adults have been arrested in Virginia following an incident at an elementary school in which a group of fourth-grade students became sick after ingesting gummy bears from a bag that contained residue testing positive for fentanyl, officials say.

Clifford Dugan and Nicole Sanders of Amherst are each facing multiple charges in relation to an incident on Tuesday at Central Elementary School which required five students to seek medical attention for symptoms including nausea, vomiting, headache, some muscle spasms, according to Amherst County Public Schools Superintendent William Wells.

"Law enforcement tested the gummies, and they tested negative for a foreign substance. However, when they tested the residue in the bag, the field test indicated a positive response for fentanyl," Wells said Wednesday.
