The deputy in California seized the fentanyl, then Od’d in service, said the report

An assistant in the Sacramento County sheriff in service survived after an overdose on the fentanyl he had seized during an arrest, revealed a recently published internal investigation.

The 2023 incident initially launched an alarm when the officials thought it had collapsed after being “exposed” to fentanyl. The sheriff spokesman alerted the media and certain deputies who had witnessed the therapy of the death of their colleague sought, according to the internal report of 468 pages.

MP Marvin Morales was discovered unanswered on the bathroom floor of a sheriff. The drug paraphernalia was in the pocket of its uniform.

Morales later told the sheriff officials that he had ingested the drug “with the intention of committing suicide” because he suffered from depression. However, the investigation would reveal that it was not the first time that Morales used drugs that he had seized.

In October 24, 2023, an incident that led to his overdose, Morales made a “suspicious subject judgment” around 5:40 pm and found an aluminum paper package with methamphetamine that was moving there from the suspect’s pants. A laboratory test on narcotics would later identify the drug seized like fentanyl, the report indicates.

Almost three hours later, Morales, who was in service and in a complete uniform, entered the public hall and the toilets of the central division of sheriff at South Sackiliament. The investigation revealed that Morales smoked part of the methamphetamine he had grasped using a glass pipe “he obtained at some point during his functions and a torch lighter that had been in his patrol vehicle.”

Another deputy found morals unconscious on the floor of the bathroom; A glass hose with burned residues was nearby, the report indicates. The agents administered Narcan in order to overthrow the overdose. Morals was transported to hospital for subsequent treatment and survived.

The officers who answered found methamphetamine aluminum paper that Morales had grasped earlier in a pants of his uniform pants.

The investigation also revealed that, twice in August, Morales had cited individuals for the possession of drug accessories, then lied about how he eliminated the articles.

In his reports on routine crime on each incident, Morales said he had secured a glass methamphetamine pipe and “due to the fragile state of the glass pipe and to avoid breaking it, I took a photo with my iPhone issued by the department as I would use this photo as proof” and thrown the hose from the Sheriff.

In an internal interview, the report indicates that Morales admitted that he had lied in one of the crime reports and had taken the methamphetamine hose at home and smoked the drug residue from the three or four month pipe.

Morales told officials that he did because it “gave him” the energy “he needed to write reports in detention”.

Investigators challenged the assertions of morals, citing a toxicology report on his blood and hair samples as proof of chronic drug consumption.

The report recommended that Morales be terminated and the deputy was informed of the results on January 4, 2024. Documents show that Morales resigned on February 2 of the same year.

He voluntarily rendered his certification of peace agents this month, according to the California Commission on the standards and training of peace agents.

Speaking of his colleagues who asked for therapy after his death, Morales said in an internal interview that he wanted to “apologize so badly, but I can’t. I am not so brother.

He continued to apologize to his partner and the Sheriff office.

“This is why I did it in this bathroom,” he said. “I didn’t want the public to see me.”
