Salt Lake City - Ut. - A 39-year-old man was arrested after suspected fentanyl pills reportedly scattered on the ground when he tripped while running from police outside a Salt Lake City convenience store.

Salt Lake City police said this incident began around 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, when an officer with the agency’s Pioneer Patrol Division saw an SUV parked near the 7-Eleven at 490 N. Redwood Road. Authorities said the vehicle matched the description of an SUV that had fled from a traffic stop earlier.

Officers approached the 7-Eleven and confronted the driver, later identified as Anthony Brickhouse. When officers ordered him to exit the vehicle, Brickhouse ran on foot. Body camera footage shows him tripping and falling to the ground, scattering multiple suspected M30 fentanyl pills as he fell.

A search of the SUV revealed more suspected M30 fentanyl pills and drug paraphernalia, according to police.

Brickhouse is also accused of providing a fake identity and falsely claiming he had swallowed multiple fentanyl pills. He was taken to a hospital, where medical staff found no signs of overdose after monitoring him for three hours.

Brickhouse was booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail on charges of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, failure to stop for law enforcement, providing false information, interfering with police, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
