Three men were arrested, charged as drug dealers selling synthetic cannabis which contained AB-FUBINACA.[16][17][18] First responders concluded that the overdoses were caused by opiate adulterants, as victims responded toNarcan.[19] Almost all of the overdoses occurred on the New Haven Green, a large downtown park that is heavily traveled and very popular with the homeless population. There have been no deaths associated with these overdoses; however, several victims were in critical or life-threatening condition for a period of time.[20]
