Overview
- The incident occurred Tuesday around 2:25 p.m. outside the R. B. Tullis Branch Library in New Caney, according to the Precinct 4 constable’s office.
- Deputies say a woman approached two county maintenance workers and handed them a damp, pink-tinted flyer with a religious message.
- About 30 minutes later the workers reported shaky hands, dizziness and hot flashes, and officials say the flyer tested positive for fentanyl at the constable’s office.
- Authorities have not determined whether the paper caused the reported symptoms, and toxicology experts note that casual skin contact with fentanyl is unlikely to make someone ill.
- No arrests have been announced as the investigation continues, and officials urged caution about accepting items from strangers.
