It will be weeks before investigators might know the drug that 16-year-old Dominic Stolfi allegedly ingested before driving the wrong way on K-254 and colliding with another car early last Sunday, Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet says.

According to Herzet, the teen had told a deputy about three hours before the collision, which killed Stolfi and two other people, that he had taken LSD.

A federal drug official says he wouldn’t be surprised if the substance turns out to be something similar to but even more dangerous than LSD – known as N-Bom, a reference to its chemical name.

The substance that deputies seized from a Benton-area house where Stolfi was visiting, several hours before the collision, has been sent for analysis to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Herzet said. The Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the source of the substance, Herzet said, adding without elaboration, “We have a pretty good idea of where the drugs came from.”

When deputies responded early last Sunday to a report of a disturbance at the house, Stolfi and another 16-year-old said they had taken LSD, a powerful hallucinogenic drug often associated 1960s counter-culture.
