Two doses of Narcan, a substance used to revive opioid overdose victims, were administered which resulted in Panza regaining consciousness. It was then determined by officers that she had taken fentanyl, a powerful painkiller. Officers found six vials of Benadryl and one vial of Promethazine in her purse, which she used to hide the fentanyl. Further, multiple syringes and a rubber tourniquet were found in her bathroom. After being transported to Parker Adventist Hospital, officers found multiple vials of what turned out to be fentanyl in her bathrobe. She was not prescribed the drug, and it was determined that she removed the painkiller while working at the endoscopy center where she was in charge of tracking the pain killer.
She would empty wasted medication into vials labeled Benadryl, Promethazine and Zofran. She would do this on average of once a week for approximately 10 months. She had done the same thing with her prior employer, Denver Endoscopy on a “handful of occasions,” according to the plea agreement.
