GEORGETOWN, Texas — Williamson County officials are reporting a suspected overdose death at a Georgetown home where previous overdose incidents have occurred.
The Williamson County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) said that on Monday, July 8, its Organized Crime Unit responded to a suspected overdose death at 1221 Winding Way Drive. When deputies arrived, they found a 46-year-old man dead. The man has not yet been identified, pending notification of next of kin.
During the investigation into this incident, Williamson County deputies seized suspected fentanyl and methamphetamine from the home. The WCSO said this is the third time its Organized Crime Unit has responded to this same address concerning overdose incidents.
"The growing number of overdose incidents at this location is deeply concerning," Sheriff Mike Gleason said. "We are committed to combating the illegal drug trade and tackling the opioid crisis. As a result, diligent efforts will be made through the Attorney General's Office, the County Attorney's Office, and the District Attorney's Office to abate or seize these properties."
Following the investigation, one person was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance.
The WCSO said it continues to investigate this case, and anyone with any information is urged to contact the WCSO tipline at 512-943-1170 or contact the sheriff's office via email at drug-humantraffickinginfo@wilco.org.
