MILWAUKEE — A 31-year-old suspect is in critical condition after ingesting what Milwaukee police say was "likely an illegal substance" during an arrest.
Milwaukee police and the FBI were patrolling the area after receiving information about drug activity. Investigators noticed a vehicle related to that information near 91st and Silver Spring, followed it until the driver stopped at 106th and Silver Spring, got out and ran into a yard.
During an attempted arrest, the suspect took the unknown substance and suffered a medical event. At least three officials were exposed to the substance, according to Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman; however, he noted there could be more. One FBI agent was exposed to the substance and was treated and released from an area hospital.
