BPD judges Valentine’s Day contest

cording to the release, WCSO has launched an investigation to determine how the drugs were smuggled in.

A similar incident occurred in January in which several inmates notified corrections deputies of a suspected overdose. Deputies revived the inmate who made a full recovery.

“This incident highlights the clear and present danger that opioids pose to individual health and safety,” said WCSO undersheriff Doug Chadwick in the release. “The surging fentanyl epidemic and the deadly risk even a small amount poses cannot be overstated. We are fortunate that alert and highly trained corrections deputies responded quickly and took immediate lifesaving actions.”
