San Diego County Sheriff’s Department releases full body cam footage from fentanyl incident – 10News

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department on Thursday released additional footage of a controversial video that suggested a deputy suffered a fentanyl overdose at a crime scene.

The videos that the department made public are from the body cameras of two sheriff’s deputies in the July 3 incident.

In a press release announcing the release of the additional footage, sheriff’s officials addressed questions regarding toxicology tests, stating the hospital did not take a sample from Deputy David Faiivae as part of his treatment.

Video from Faiivae’s body camera begins with him inspecting a suspect’s car.

At one point during the video, a machine lights up red and reads “fentanyl.”

About five minutes later, Faiive is seen collapsing and emergency crews are at the scene to administer the overdose reversal drug Narcan.
