Saguenay police arrest man at house party Wednesday morning
Four young adults are in hospital after they overdosed on GHB at a house party early Wednesday morning in Jonquière, located 460 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
Police in Quebec's Saguenay region responded to a call at a residence on St-Hubert Street, where they arrested a 27-year-old man who they believe distributed GHB, also known as the date rape drug.
Police believe that they took the drug voluntarily but are investigating what exactly happened.
All four people were transported to hospital in critical condition. One individual was struggling to breathe when police arrived.
They are now in stable condition.
The accused will appear in court this afternoon in Chicoutimi.
