Jacksonville, FL (November 23, 2018) – This past week, a man from Callahan was arrested after a house party took place where he and four other people overdosed on Cocaine he supplied. The party took place in Jacksonville.
The man was identified as 19-year-old Tristin Sisson, who was booked on charges of cocaine possession, child abuse, and many other charges. Since then, the State Attorney’s Office has only kept the charges for child abuse for supplying a minor.
Sisson and the others took the cocaine and became unresponsive. Sisson admitted to authorities that he brought the cocaine but didn’t note that it could have been laced with anything. At this time, police suspect it was laced with fentanyl. One of the victims was underage.
All are expected to recover.
