Teens Were Acting Uncontrollably, Deputies Say
ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- Five St. Johns County teens between the ages of 15 and 17 were taken to Jacksonville hospitals over the weekend after ingesting an unknown substance, possibly a type of bath salts, St. Johns County deputies said.
Deputies were called to a home in the 100 block of North Lake Cunningham Avenue at 4:20 p.m. Saturday in reference to a 17-year-old who was out of control. Deputies said the teen's father was trying to secure him, but the teen fought his father and several deputies.
The teen struck one deputy in the face with his fist and continued to fight his father and three deputies, and at one point he was able to throw the four men off of himself and still stood up, deputies said.
The teen was repeatedly stunned with a Taser and struck with a baton, none of which had any effect, deputies said.
After fighting with deputies for 15 minutes, the teen was secured onto a stretcher with assistance from St. Johns County Fire Rescue, and he was taken to Baptist Medical Center South, deputies said.
Deputies said they found three other teens on the property who were exhibiting similar symptoms, though they didn't fight with deputies. They were also taken to the hospital.
Deputies said the teens had received a substance called 2C-I, a psychedelic drug, from a 16-year-old who lived at another home on the street.
When deputies went to that home, they learned that the 16-year-old's mother was looking for help because her son was "out of control," deputies said.
Deputies said they found the 16-year-old in the back yard secured by a family friend. The teen told deputies he took the 2C-I that he received over the Internet from China, deputies said. He was also taken to Baptist Medical Center South.
All of the teens were then taken to Wolfson Children's Hospital.
Deputies said they found a plastic bag containing a white, flaky substance that tested negative for methamphetamine and LSD. They said the substance will be sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to determine its contents.
Deputies said charges are pending further investigation by Youth Resource deputies of the Sheriff's Office.

I hope the teens will be OK with no long-lasting bad affects.
