San Diego Sheriff Denies Faking Fentanyl OD Video
The officer who accidentally overdosed on fentanyl did not fake it, according to San Diego Sheriff’s Department. They’re now responding to claims Deputy David Faiivae could not have overdosed by mere contact with fentanyl.
To prove their point, they released the full unedited bodycam footage recorded by both officers that day, claiming it shows “Deputy Faiivae processing a white powdery substance that tested positive for Fentanyl and Fluorofentanyl.”
“There have also been questions about a toxicology test,” they added in a statement. “The hospital did not take a sample from Deputy Faiivae as part of his treatment.”
It was noted that the department has always operated under the assumption that inhalation or touching the drug could cause an overdose. “If we were misinformed so be it we are trying to correct (it).”
