STRKER, OH - Emergency personnel were reportedly called to the Juvenile Detention Center outside of Stryker on Tuesday, June 14th.
According to the Williams County Sheriff’s Office, a preliminary investigation reveals 13 inmates and 1 guard were transported to the hospital for observation purposes.
As of 3:20 p.m. on Wednesday, June 15th the Sheriff’s Office has not been notified that anyone had become sick or that anyone was admitted to the hospital.
Back in March (2022) authorities were called to the JDC building for what turned out to be fentanyl that had been released into the ventilation system. During that incident seven people were transported to the hospital with the remaining inmates being transferred over to CCNO while clean up took place.
Authorities say that this latest incident is not like what took place during the March incident.
During this latest situation, the Williams County Sheriff’s Office says the MAN Unit was on-scene in order to determine the cause of the incident. The unit reportedly tested areas inside the building and found that there were no drugs present. Subsequently, a check of the HVAC system showed no leaks or issues.
The Tuesday incident and its cause remain under investigation.
