Drug charges filed after dozens of heroin overdose cases reported

Two reputed gang members were arrested and appeared in court on drug charges over the weekend after Chicago Fire Department crews responded to 74 heroin overdose cases in 72 hours last week.

Chicago police and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration were combing the West Side trying to find the source of the dangerous batch of drugs.

Alfonzo Sylvester, 24, was arrested Saturday and appeared in Leighton Criminal Court Building on Sunday on charges of possession of heroin with the intent to deliver and aggravated fleeing and eluding police, both felonies, prosecutors said.

Sylvester, wearing a denim jacket with red lettering that read "Rolling Bones," stood silent as Cook County Judge James Brown set his bond at $30,000.

We need to set a two hour wait on responding to junkies who overdose. IN other words, time to thin the herd.
