Morales told investigators that he'd interacted with the man before and knew he took drugs. He added that the drugs appeared 'dirty' which led him to believe they might be mixed with fentanyl. The deputy also admitted to taking the drugs from him and smoking them in a bathroom later that day in the sheriff's Central Division station on 65th Street and Florin Road.

Other deputies had found him overdosing in the bathroom and administered naloxone to try and reverse the situation. He survived and was taken to the hospital.
