3 hospitalized after overdose at Glendale; fentanyl discovered at the scene

GLENDALE, California (KABC) –

Three men were hospitalized late Thursday night after an overdose at a Glendale home, authorities said. Fentanyl was found on the premises.

The paramedic responded at 11:15 pm to a report from a man on Columbus Avenue near Broadway. They arrived to find several patients, one of whom was described as belligerent by the police.

First responders on site administered Narcan, a medication that helps stabilize an overdose.

Four men were taken to a hospital where three were admitted, a spokesman for the Glendale Police Department said.

Officers were seen wearing full equipment when they entered the house to search.

Detective Cecelia Cleveland of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Police Apprehension Crime Task Force, or L.A. IMPACT, later confirmed that medications had been found to be positive for fentanyl.

The investigators described the investigation as isolation, adding that there was no danger to the public.
