NJ Cheesecake Factory workers played 'Russian Roulette' with drugs

Five Cheesecake Factory workers in Hackensack, New Jersey, overdosed on cocaine laced with fentanyl in the parking lot of a high-end shopping mall. One of the workers died three days later, while the other four survived. A colleague said the drug use in the lower level parking lot is so “depressing” he now leaves his car in a different area. The group of friends thought they were ingesting cocaine and were unaware it was laced with a dangerous amount of the opioid fentanyl. The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office would not comment on the “ongoing investigation.”
