A new deadly drug combination strikes fear in officers but has addicts scrambling to get their hands on it.

A new deadly drug combination strikes fear in officers but has addicts scrambling to get their hands on it.

The drug is heroin mixed with fentanyl. Eight deaths have been reported in Massachusetts in one week from what's being dubbed "Hollywood heroin".

Here in central Ohio, Chillicothe saw a rash of deaths and overdoses recently. Marion saw five deaths and 56 overdoses in a two week period. That drug was called “blue drop.”

A drug one addict said he sought out because of its deadly record.

“I actually overdosed the first time that I did it,” Trent Fijolek said.

Fijolek was nearly pronounced dead. But that didn't stop Fijolek from wanting the blue drop heroin. He sought it out.

“When a drug dealer tells me that be careful, this guy just died off of this yesterday, in my addict mind, I'm thinking that's the stuff I want,” Fijolek said.

Trent says that's how an addict's mind works. He wanted to get as close to death as possible.

Overdosing three times didn't seem to faze him.

“All you can think about is that next high and it takes away all your problems, that's what you feel like,” Fijolek said.

It's that mindset and the latest deadly drug combo that's putting fear in officers.

“Heroin laced fentanyl seems to be the most deadly drug cocktail I've witnessed in my career,” Marion Police Major Jay McDonald said.

It's just creeping in now. Marion saw the blue drop batch come in back in May.

“When we started to see this avalanche of drug overdoses, we knew that there was something different,” McDonald said. “We had to change the way we responded as an agency.”

Five deaths and 56 overdoses in two weeks wiped out the Narcan supply which revives addicts.

“Illegal Fentanyl is manufactured in Mexico with Chinese ingredients,” McDonald said. “Some people say it’s 30 to 100 times more powerful than heroin.”

The quantity that came in was the largest yet, but authorities feel there's more to come.

“Fentanyl deaths in Ohio have really skyrocketed in 2013, there were about 80, in 2014, there were about 500,” McDonald said.
