A California junior high school official suffered an overdose after coming into contact with fentanyl pills a student had brought to school, according to police.
The reaction was so severe that the supervisor of Chipman Junior High School in Bakersfield had to be hospitalized.
Bakersfield police arrested an unidentified 13-year-old said to be in possession of 150 fentanyl pills along with $300 in cash, KGET-TV in Bakersfield reported.
The incident occurred Friday morning after the student was being searched following an altercation involving another student, police said.
Opening a bag, campus supervisor Richard Aguilar came in contact with the fentanyl, which was disguised as the pain reliever Percocet, according to The Bakersfield Californian.
