Proactive Arrest Leads to Overdose Reversal 

May 22, 2024 – Isla Vista, CA –  Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office officials report that a pro-active arrest by deputies resulted in saving the life of the man they arrested. On Sunday, May 19, 2024, at approximately 9:32 a.m., deputies encountered a male subject in the roadway of Camino Lindo near Pasado. When they spoke with him, deputies learned that the subject had an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest.

Deputies arrested the suspect and, while driving to the Main Jail, noticed that he began exhibiting signs of a fentanyl overdose. Deputies pulled over to the side of the road, called for an emergency medical response, and lifted the man out of the back of the patrol car and on to the roadside. Deputies administered two rounds of nasal naloxone to the man who regained consciousness and began breathing on his own as emergency medical services arrived. The man was transported to an area hospital for follow-up care and later booked at the Main Jail.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to highlight this incident as an example of the danger of fentanyl use, the importance of carrying naloxone, and recognizing the signs of overdose which may include:

  • Difficult to wake up
  • Slowed Breathing
  • Confusion
  • Blue or pale lips and fingernails

If you notice these signs, call 911 immediately and give naloxone. An individual who is experiencing an opioid overdose needs immediate medical attention. An essential first step is to get help from someone with medical expertise as quickly as possible. Therefore, members of the public are encouraged to call 911 when they suspect an overdose is occurring. California’s 911 Good Samaritan law, AB 472, provides limited protection from arrest, charge and prosecution for people who seek emergency medical assistance at the scene of a suspected drug overdose.
