Deputies contacted a K-9 handler. During the search, deputies found a folded piece of paper inside another folded piece of paper. Allison admitted that the powdery substance in the folded paper was fentanyl, said the sheriff’s office.
According to the sheriff’s office, one of the deputies was taken to the hospital after feeling sick while handling the folded paper of drug substances. She made a full recovery and was medically cleared.
The substance tested positive for fentanyl, and deputies also noted a small baggie in Allison’s purse tested positive for methamphetamine.
