A syringe believed to be partially filled with blood and a drug called Opana or Oxymorphone was found in a car that was pulled over in recent days in Murfreesboro. Opana is a drug used to treat severe pain in patients and is prescribed by doctors.

The syringe was in the car of 32-year old Travis Brock. The suspect was pulled over as the result of an anonymous drug complaint in the area of the 2800 block of Middle Tennessee Boulevard. Evidently, Brock was driving a black four door Mazda suspected of being involved in drug activity.

Police say when Brock pulled over, he quickly exited the driver's seat. Police looked inside the car and that was when they noticed a Mountain Dew can in plain view that had been cut and possibly used as a smoking paraphernalia for drugs, according to a police report. Officers then gained consent to search the Mazda and that was when they found the pre-filled syringe. The syringe was underneath the driver's seat. The report stated, "Mr. Brock admitted that he had loaded the syringe with the intent of injecting it."

25-Year old Passenger Brian Jacobs was also found to be in possession of a pre-filled syringe containing blood and what looked to be Oxymorphone. He too was arrested. Police say that both Jacobs and Brock had warrants for their arrest. Prior to Jacobs being placed in handcuffs, officers report they found five possible Opana tablets and three alleged Xanax bars in his possession. Both Jacobs and Brock were charged accordingly.

Before officers left with the two detainee's, they questioned a 26-year old female passenger who claimed ownership of the Xanax and Opana. However, she did not have a prescription for the two. She was issued misdemeanor citations for the two drugs.

Both Jacobs and Brock will appear in court on May 21, 2015.

According to Narcanon, "Fifteen people who managed to inject material from this pill were hospitalized in Tennessee alone with a condition called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura -- that is a complicated term describing a problem where small blood clots develop in narrow vessels throughout the body. This problem leads to widespread organ damage, most particularly for the kidneys."
