Officer Overdoses From Powder On Shirt After Drug Arrest
Fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin, and a few specks can kill an adult.
East Liverpool police Capt. Patrick Wright says the officer had followed protocol and wore gloves and a mask when searching a car during the drug arrest. But Wright says the officer later instinctively wiped his shirt when another officer noticed powder on it.
Wright says the officer was fine by Sunday.
