He found her drifting \u201cin and out of consciousness and needing immediate medical attention,\u201d the Tavares Police Department said in a release&nbsp;obtained by Click Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bodycam Shows Florida Officer&#039;s Overdose During Drug Search\" width=\"735\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s_pRi37yLBQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That officer and two others laid Bannick on the ground and quickly administered Narcan. She was brought back and was talking before she again lost consciousness and appeared to have stopped breathing, the bodycam footage released by the department shows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe was completely lifeless. She looks deceased in these videos,\u201d Tavares police Detective Courtney Sullivan&nbsp;told Fox 35 Orlando.&nbsp;\u201cSo she\u2019s very thankful today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, the cops gave Bannick three doses of Narcan before an ambulance arrived and took her to an area hospital. She is expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officers believe Bannick, who was wearing gloves when handling the narcotics, may have been exposed due to the wind blowing the drugs into her system. The officers planned to test the substance at the station and not at the scene because it was so windy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have done this 100 times before the same way. It only takes one time and a minimal amount,\u201d Bannick said. \u201cI\u2019m thankful I wasn\u2019t alone and had immediate help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She requested that the alarming video be released in order to spread awareness of the dangers of fentanyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the other officers weren\u2019t there, there\u2019s a very high chance and probability that today would be different and that we would be wearing our thin blue line \u2014&nbsp;the straps that go over our badges,\u201d Sullivan said, referring to protocol when an officer dies in the line of duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The individuals who were pulled over by the officers and allegedly had the drugs in their possession are facing possible felony charges. Their names have not been released because they haven\u2019t been charged yet, the department said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/duye.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-109.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duye.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-109.png 678w, https:\/\/duye.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-109-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Florida police officer was given three doses of Narcan after she was exposed to fentanyl and reportedly overdosed during a traffic stop Tuesday.
