Many Sick At FTW Jail

An investigation is underway after more than 30 people are taken to the hospital, following an incident at the Allen County Jail in downtown Fort Wayne. In all, 32 confinement officers and one jail nurse were taken in for treatment. Officers went to D-Block of the jail on the suspicion some inmates were smoking. They found a piece of paper infused with an unknown substance…later tested positive for opioids. All of the officers that entered the cell block reported smelling smoke and feeling “strange.” All are doing well.
