Accident – Death – Obituary News :
Auburn Hills police officers were hospitalized after suspected narcotics exposure during a traffic stop earlier this week, with more details emerging about the incident. Lt. Brandon Hollenbeck revealed that the officers may have come into contact with fentanyl and cocaine carried by a passenger in the vehicle stopped on Pontiac Road. The officers, who had worn protective gloves, started feeling ill after the encounter and were quickly transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Officers’ Adverse Reactions
The first officer began experiencing dizziness and illness after finding narcotics on the passenger, identified as 34-year-old Deontra Smith from Pontiac. Shortly after arresting Smith on outstanding warrants and conducting a search, the officer fell ill. Their partner administered Narcan, a medication used for treating narcotics overdose, and called for backup. As the first officer was on the way to the hospital, the second officer also started showing symptoms and was administered Narcan before being transported for medical care.
Fortunate Outcome
Lt. Hollenbeck highlighted the fortunate outcome of the situation, crediting the availability of Narcan on the scene for potentially saving the officers’ lives. While details of their medical treatment were not disclosed, it is believed to be related to exposure to narcotics. The incident could have had much graver consequences if not for the quick response and preparedness of the officers.
Suspect in Custody
Deontra Smith is currently in Oakland County Jail, facing charges of possession of a controlled substance—narcotics/cocaine/heroin—less than 25 grams. At her arraignment, Judge Lisa Asadoorian set a bond of $50,000 cash or surety. Smith is scheduled for a probable cause conference on May 23, followed by a preliminary exam a week later. Despite the incident, no charges have been filed against Smith for the possible drug exposure to the police officers.
As investigations continue into the circumstances of the suspected narcotics exposure, the Auburn Hills Police Department remains vigilant in ensuring the safety and well-being of its officers.
