South Carolina deputy collapses due to fentanyl exposure while searching woman's car, shocking video surfaces
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office released a video of a deputy collapsing from fentanyl exposure, and then being revived with emergency doses of Narcan. According to an incident report, the incident took place last week in the area of Bethera Road and Mitchum Town Road in Bonneau. Deputies were responding to a report of a woman in a black SUV who had apparently passed out behind the wheel, Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis said, per WYFF 4. South Carolina deputy collapses due to fentanyl exposure while searching woman's car, shocking video surfaces (X) 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.

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.

Quadruplets Nicknamed 'Quads of Aubs' Break World Record After Being Born More Than 100 Days Ahead of Schedule
Four siblings, nicknamed the "Quads of Aubs" broke the Guinness World Record to become the most premature quadruplets after they were born 115 days before their Sept. 23, 2024 due date Lainey, Kali, Lennon and Koen Bryant of Alabama were born to Becca and Lavareis Bryant on May 31, 2024; they were all releases from the hospital by December The previous record holders were the Tepper family in Australia, who held the title since 1997 after they were born 104 days earlyFour babies, nicknamed the "Quads of Aubs," made history by becoming the most premature quadruplets to survive birth. On Wednesday, June 11, Guinness World Records announced that the Bryant siblings of Alabama broke the record by arriving 115 days earlier than their Sept. 23, 2024 due date. The siblings, named Lainey, Kali, Lennon, and Koen, were born to parents Becca and Lavareis Bryant on May 31, 2024 at the University of Alabama at Birmingham hospital in Birmingham, Ala. 'The Bryant family in Alabama hosted a very special first birthday party this 31 May, to celebrate their four children who just made history as the most premature quadruplets,' the record-tracking organization shared in a press release. The record was previously held by the Tepper family in Australia. They broke it in 1997 after their quadruplets were born 104 days early.

'Hearing our babies were the most premature quads put into perspective how lucky we were that all of them made it,' Becca told Live5News. 'When Lainey, Kali, Lennon and Koen were born, they were 115 days premature,' she added. 'Now, a year later, we were surrounded by family and friends to celebrate their first birthday.' ! On that fateful day in May 2024, a team of 30 maternal-fetal and neonatology experts was present to carry out the quadruplets' emergency cesarean delivery. Dr. Colm Travers told Guinness World Records that each baby had a "separate team" present in the delivery room to give them the best chance of surviving. is now available in the Apple App Store!

'The highest risk of complications and mortality for extremely preterm babies occurs during their first week of life,' Travers told Live5News. To help them out, they received UAB Golden Week care at the Level IV UAB Regional Newborn Intensive Care Unit. Travers explained, 'The program focuses on minimizing complications in babies through that first critical week because it typically means a greater chance of survival and going home.' Becca, who shares three older children with her husband, went into early labor after her cervix shortened. She had a trichorionic quadra-amniotic pregnancy, which meant that there were only three placentas instead of four. Her water proceeded to break, and she was developing an infection, according to Guinness. 'I started getting pretty sick, pretty fast,' Becca recalled, speaking to Today. 'And then it felt like just few minutes later, I was on the operating table. It was pretty emergent.' The babies, who were conceived naturally, spent around six months in the neonatal intensive care unit. They were all sent home within days of each other in December 2024. While quadruplets, especially when they are conceived naturally, are incredibly rare, Guinness noted that Lavareis is a twin. Multiples in his family are relatively common; his sister also is a mom to twins. While they still suffer complications, they have improved by leaps and bounds. They are, however, receiving care from very qualified parents. 'People tell us, 'If anyone was supposed to have quads, it was y'all,'' Becca, who is a cardiac ICU nurse, told Today. 'We're both very laid-back and chill, we just handle what needs to be handled. In my job and my husband's job [Lavareis is a police officer], you don't have time to panic. You have to react quickly, and keep moving.' Read the original article on People

Arizona mom explains how TikTok saved her son's life
An Arizona mother claimed a TikTok saved her son's life in an extraordinary moment the internet pinpointed the boys symptoms early on. Nicholas McCollum, 7, was diagnosed with the flu after experiencing a fever and mobility issues, but the mother remembered how TikTok's urged parents to get a certain type of blood test. 'His fever was about 103-104 degrees, and that morning he said he couldn't walk,' his mom, Jennifer McCollum, told Live 5 News. As doctors were about to discharge Nicholas, his mother spoke up and pushed for further attention for her son. 'They were going to send me home, and I said I want his CK levels checked,' she said. 'I got looked at like it was so weird to ask for CK levels for a child because this diagnosis is usually only in athletes and cross-fitters.' Nicholas was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is a disorder of skeletal muscle breakdown that releases toxins into the bloodstream, according to the Cleveland Clinic. 'They were going to send me home, and I said I want his CK levels checked,' she said. 'I got looked at like it was so weird to ask for CK levels for a child because this diagnosis is usually only in athletes and cross-fitters' It can lead to muscle death and kidney failure, and often presents after overexertion, trauma, medications or an underlying health condition. Common signs include muscle weakness or stiffness, muscle pain or a change in urine color. Around 26,000 people in the United States develop the condition every year, according to Cleveland Clinic. The Phoenix-area mother said the social media platform reminded her to advocate for her son's health and push for the right diagnosis. Nicholas has since returned home and has been feeling much better following his diagnosis.

Michigan mother grateful after local realtor returns lost wallet full of nearly $100 in tips
When Michelle Johnson of Wyandotte, Michigan, looked at her security camera and saw a stranger on her porch, she didn't know who he was — or what he wanted. Then, the stranger held up a wallet in front of the camera, making sure it was visible. Johnson quickly realized the wallet belonged to her college-age son. It held more than $100 in cash — tips he had earned from working the entire weekend at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The kind stranger was returning his wallet. I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) Americans with upside-down car loans owe more money than ever before — and drivers can't keep up. Here are 3 ways to cut your monthly costs ASAP 'I almost cried. I know that sounds silly, but it was nice,' Johnson told WCSC-TV Live 5 News, describing the unexpected kindness of a stranger who went out of his way to do the right thing. Donnie Hanson, a 26-year-old real estate agent, was surprised to find the wallet while running errands on a busy Monday afternoon. He noticed the wallet lying conspicuously in the middle of the road. 'I couldn't believe that it was just lying in the middle of the road,' he told Live 5 News reporters. "I just knew I had to give it back," he added. Hanson explained that he had previously lost his wallet, an experience he never forgot, — especially since his wallet was never returned. Remembering how it felt, he was determined not to let someone else go through that same experience. Johnson, an elementary school teacher, emphasized that Hanson's thoughtful gesture had a significant emotional impact on her family. Losing the wallet meant losing more than just cash — it represented hard work and dedication. Now, her son has his wallet back. 'These small acts of kindness truly make a difference in the world,' Johnson said. She also pointed out how meaningful Hanson's actions were to her son, a busy college student who was rushing around town and likely hadn't noticed when the wallet slipped out of his pocket. Read more: Are you rich enough to join the top 1%? Here's the net worth you need to rank among America's wealthiest — plus 2 ways to build that first-class portfolio While this story had a happy ending, losing your wallet can be stressful and financially risky. Here are a few practical ways to protect your finances — and improve your chances of having lost items returned. Minimizing the cash you carry can reduce potential losses. Digital payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay offer secure, trackable alternatives to cash and can be processed from your phone. Consider carrying a smaller wallet with just your ID, one or two credit cards and a small amount of cash. Leave the rest at home or at another secure location. Fewer items mean less hassle — and less loss if your wallet goes missing. Also, keep your wallet in your front pocket rather than your back pocket, where it can more easily slip out. Consider discreetly labeling important items, like your phone case and wallet, with a phone number or email address. This ensures you can be contacted, without revealing sensitive information like your address, and increases your chances of recovering lost items. Regularly reviewing your bank and credit card statements can help you detect unauthorized transactions quickly. Think about setting up text or email alerts for larger purchases so you're notified if someone tries to make a big purchase, which, in the event your wallet is picked up by someone not-so-honest, it might trigger you to cancel your cards quicker. Taking practical measures can help protect your finances, while practicing everyday acts of kindness can help create stronger, more supportive communities. As Michelle Johnson experienced firsthand, small gestures can leave lasting impressions — reminding us all of the good we can do for each other. Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire?
