A Michigan State Police trooper performing a traffic stop on Wednesday in Bay County was overcome and collapsed after coming in contact with suspected fentanyl while searching a vehicle, requiring a dose of Narcan for recovery.

MSP troopers from the Tri-City Post performed the traffic stop around 2:13 p.m., suspecting the driver was under the influence of drugs.
