“Maybe it was a baggie on the ground of the car; we really don’t know,” Oldoerp said. “If they’re using drugs in their car, we can only speculate.”
At the station, officers administered naloxone to the dog, who made a “pretty quick” turnaround, Oldoerp said. Afterward, the couple was cited and released, though police have asked the Orange County district attorney to charge them both with felony animal cruelty and possession of narcotics.He added that authorities held on to the puppy, which will stay in city custody until there is a hearing to determine whether to give the animal back.Fentanyl has been infiltrating illicit-drug supplies across the U.S.
