Authorities administered three doses of narcan to the inmate who was unconscious. The man was immediately revived and was transported to a local hospital for further treatment.
Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration is investigating the incident to process the cell and determine how the fentanyl got into the jail.
In September, a Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall counselor was charged with assault for allegedly punching a detained minor a dozen times and slamming his head into the floor.
