A Texas Department of Public Safety conducted a traffic stop and was hospitalized after being exposed to what officers later determined to be fentanyl.
said one of its troopers became ill after being exposed to a substance while conducting a vehicle stop in Bexar County. EMS administered NARCAN – a medicine used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose – and the trooper was transported to a state hospital, DPS said.
Special agents later located a substance in a container that tested positive for fentanyl, DPS said. "Officers and first responders often come into contact with a mixture of illicit drugs during routine job duties," DPS said."These mixtures can include cocaine, methamphetamines, opioids such as fentanyl and heroin for example." Last year, the San Diego Sheriff’s Office said one of its deputies wasMaterial that Texas DPS say tested positive for fentanyl.
Body camera footage released by the department showed the deputy appearing disoriented before stepping back and collapsing on the pavement. After the video’s release, a coalition of doctors questioned the department's conclusion that fentanyl exposure caused the deputy to pass out.
