WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Emergency crews have transported four people from the Sedgwick County Jail to a Wichita hospital.
Sedgwick County dispatchers say staff at the jail requested Narcan or another naloxone device. Naloxone is the antidote given when someone has an opioid overdose.
Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter told KSN News that he suspects fentanyl, but he said it has not been confirmed yet.
A Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said no deputies were taken to the hospital, but he did not say if the people who were taken to the hospital were inmates or other jail staff.
