South Carolina deputy collapses due to fentanyl exposure while searching woman's car, shocking video surfaces
Here's what happened
Deputies managed to get into the locked SUV and wake the woman, and then safely remove her from the vehicle. They then began searching the car.
The woman claimed she was pulled over after she almost hit a deer on the road. However, when deputies asked her why she fell asleep, she had no answer, according to Live 5 News.

During the search, a female South Carolina deputy, Lt. Kristin Riddle, found a clear plastic bag containing an unknown substance on one side of the driver's bra, as well as a folded-up dollar bill containing an unknown substance on the other side. Riddle can be heard in the video repeatedly asking for Narcan before falling to the ground.
A deputy grabbed Narcan and went on to administer two doses, managing to revive the female deputy. She eventually became alert and responsive.
The folded-up dollar bill reportedly contained about 0.01 grams of a brown powder-like substance that was field-tested presumptive for fentanyl. Another clear bag contained approximately 2 grams of a brown powder-like substance that was also field-tested presumptive for fentanyl, per Live 5 News.
Riddle was taken to a hospital and later released. She is now at home, recovering.
Lewis said that while searching the car, Riddle was not wearing gloves, which may have contributed to the exposure. 'I think it was because of the excessive heat of the day, but normally she would have had gloves on… and should have had gloves on,' he said.
Lewis said that the suspect is known to deputies and was charged with drug-related offenses in the past. Following the latest incident, the suspect was taken into custody. Additional charges are being reviewed in connection to the fentanyl exposure.
The sheriff said that during his time in office, this was the most serious fentanyl-related exposure involving a Berkeley County deputy. The sheriff's office asserted that it continues to prioritize training and safety protocols for deputies in the field, especially when they are required to handle suspected narcotics.

ED attaches Rs 29,176 bank deposit in cooker blast case
New Delhi: Funds worth Rs 29,176 kept in the bank account of an accused in the ISIS-inspired 2022 Mangaluru cooker bomb blast have been attached under the anti-money laundering law, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Wednesday. The blast took place in an auto rickshaw at the outskirts of Mangaluru on November 19, 2022 and the man who was allegedly handling the explosives in the three-wheeler, Mohammed Shariq, was injured and was named as the main accused in the case. The bomb was supposed to be planted at the Dharmasthala Manjunatha Swamy Temple in Mangaluru. However, it exploded in the autorickshaw as the timer was set as 09 seconds instead of 90 minutes, the federal probe agency said in a statement. The ED filed a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in November 2022, taking cognisance of a National Investigation Agency (NIA) FIR. The bank deposit of Rs 29,176 was kept in the bank account of another accused named Syed Yasin and it has been provisionally attached under the PMLA by an order issued by the Bengaluru office of the ED on August 5, the ED said. A chargesheet filed in the case by the NIA said that the blast was part of a plan of the banned terrorist group ISIS to spread terror, wage war against the Government of India and to threaten the integrity and sovereignty of India, it said. The agency said an online ISIS handler named 'Colonel' had given training over Wickr app/Telegram etc. to Shariq alias Premraj and some other accused to prepare an improvised explosive device (IED). He (Colonel) also arranged funds through certain mule (illegal) accounts and also through cryptocurrencies, which were 'encashed' by Yasin and Shariq through PoS (point of sale) agents. In some instances, the ED said, the encashed cryptocurrencies were routed through 'fraudulently opened mule accounts in FINO Payments Bank'. Funds worth Rs 2,86,008 were deposited by different cryptocurrency dealers in the mule accounts and Rs 41,680 was collected in cash, it said. The amount was 'utilised' for the purchase of some goods online to assemble the IED and for hiring 'hideouts' in Mysuru and other places and also for conducting reconnaissance at various places in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. The ED said another accused in the case, Maaz Munir, was the person who provided the details of the FINO payments bank mule accounts to Shariq so that he could receive payments sent by the online handler, Colonel.
