The teenage girl who was the target of an attempted “rescue” from a Brooklyn drug den last year — by a trio of vigilantes in a jacked-up pickup truck that was armed to the teeth — died this week from an overdose, according to a report. Jenea Patterson, 18, was found dead Wednesday after using drugs with several friends in her rural hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, according to The Citizens’ Voice. Her dad, James Patterson, told the local newspaper that she had been struggling with addiction for quite some time, and that he had been trying to get her to seek treatment. But she’s a baby,” he said, explaining that drugs were a big problem in their area. The Luzerne County Coroner’s Office told the Citizens’ Voice that they were investigating Jenea’s death, and hadn’t yet determined the cause pending an investigation.
