IDAHO FALLS — A 23-year-old was arrested Thursday after police responded to an overdose call, and reportedly found evidence of fentanyl trafficking.
Shanyn Maquel Halpin is charged with felony fentanyl trafficking and felony possession of a controlled substance.
Court documents say Idaho Falls Police officers responded to a call Thursday around 4:15 p.m., alleging a possible overdose of a man in a home in Idaho Falls. The reporting party stated the man was unconscious.
EMTs were able to revive the man, so officers went to check on a car that the man reportedly drove to the home. While trying to find a VIN number on the car, officers noticed a woman who appeared to be unconscious in the passenger seat.
Police reports say the woman woke up and told them her name was “Shanyn Helpin.” Officers could not find this name in their database and later discovered her real last name was Halpin.
Police say Halpin was holding a “small cylindrical plastic container in her hand as she then placed it near the center console.”
