A sergeant at the Harris County Sheriff's Office was hospitalized Tuesday after contacting a paper folder containing fentanyl, officials said.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the flyer was one of the many sheriff's office vehicles, located at 601 Lockwood Drive, east of Houston.
At least one of the leaflets has been tested positive for fentanyl, a sometimes fatal opioid. Other travelers, as well as the sergeant himself, are also tested for fentanyl.
So far, authorities have tested one of 15 to 20 leaflets, said Jason Spencer, a spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office. The remaining pamphlets were sent to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Science for analysis, he said.
The sergeant fell on the flyer on his windshield on Tuesday afternoon as she was leaving work, Gonzalez said. At first, she did not think about it anymore, but she soon started to feel dizzy and showed other symptoms related to fentanyl.
She has been transported to the hospital and is expected to survive while the authorities are investigating the origin of the leaflets. She was released around 4:30 pm, authorities said.
"She caught him quickly," Gonzalez said. "We know from our experience with fentanyl that it is very lethal, it is 100 times more potent than morphine.
The flyers could have been placed on the vehicles as early as Tuesday 8 am, said Gonzalez.
"We hope this is an isolated incident," Gonzalez said.
The flyers promoted the organization Targeted Individuals, an organization that believes that the "Deep State" is targeting certain people.
The group believes that the FBI and the CIA are deliberately inflicting mental, physical and emotional stress on the enemies of the "Deep State", in part by using microwave technology to cause brain damage, according to the group's website.
The organization could not be contacted for a comment.
Authorities with HCSO are asking anyone who sees leaflets to be cautious and contact the authorities.
