Over the weekend, the D.A. says, three Broome County residents died of drug overdoses and drug dealers continue to sell.
Korchak says when drug dealers are arrested, they will be aggressively prosecuted and “removed from our community.”
While a number of on-site programs and counseling can’t happen right now due to the emergency COVID-19 orders, resources are still available for those struggling with drug addiction at www.gobroomecounty.com/boac/help-is-available
