Responding to their first call of the day, two San Diego sheriff’s deputies had no idea one of them was about to suffer a near-fatal drug overdose. His partner would be called upon to save his life.
On July 3, Deputies David Faiivae and his field training officer Corporal Scott Crane, of the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station, were investigating what was suspected to be fentanyl at the scene of an arrest. In bodycam footage taken at the scene, Crane is heard warning his partner that he was getting too close.
