On April 9, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept.-Crescenta Valley Station received a call for service concerning a juvenile who was unconscious due to an apparent overdose of opioids. Deputies and personnel from LA County Fire Dept. Station 63 responded to the home and found the juvenile. They administered naloxone [Narcan], which can reverse an opioid overdose. The juvenile was transported to a local hospital where treatment continued, according to Sgt. John Gilbert, CV Sheriff’s Station.

After an investigation, deputies discovered the opioids were sold to the juvenile by another student at Crescenta Valley High School.

At 12:20 p.m. on April 10, LASD deputies, with CVHS administrators and the deputy school resource officer, contacted the student. They found the student allegedly had drugs in his/her possession. The student was detained for being in possession of a controlled substance for sale. It appears some of the drugs may have been fentanyl.
