SMYRNA, Ga. — 11Alive has learned that the suspect accused of handing possibly tainted paperwork to two Smyrna police officers that caused them to have "respiratory distress" and "extreme fatigue" now faces another charge connected to a church employee who also experienced similar symptoms.

[...]

Meanwhile, after reports of the officers' hospitalization aired, the warrant said the pastor at a church located along the same path that Stone took realized that an employee there had been out sick since Feb. 10 with symptoms nearly identical to those experienced by the officers.

According to the warrant, the employee was the one who found the papers and took them inside the church. But it wasn't until two weeks later that the pastor rediscovered the papers, looked at them and realized that Stone's name was on them.

Earlier story from February

Warrants: 2 Smyrna Police officers hospitalized after touching paperwork dropped off at station

A suspect is now in custody, charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a public safety officer.

SMYRNA, Ga. — Two Smyrna Police officers were hospitalized after they began experiencing "respiratory distress" after touching paperwork that was dropped off at the department's headquarters on Tuesday.

[...]

Stone spoke with the clerk before speaking to two officers regarding Smyrna Police officers and Gov. Brian Kemp, the document alleges. He then allegedly asked for the Smyrna Police chief's business card and asked the two officers to give the chief some paperwork that he had brought to the station.

The officers then each grabbed two pieces of paper, and Stone rushed out of the building. Within five minutes, each officer began experiencing respiratory issues and "extreme fatigue," the warrant detailed.

[...]

11Alive looked into his criminal history and discovered he is currently on probation on a charge of terrorist threats, which he pleaded guilty to in 2023. Stone was accused of showing up to Puckett EMS in Austell and telling employees, “I’m going to blow you all up.”

Weird. Anyone know of any substances that would cause these symptoms, especially so quick? The other victim, the church employee, has been hospitalized since Feb 10! Or wait, I don't know when this was written, so I don't know how long they were/are in hospital. But both of the police victims were also hospitalized, and then also, the charge is felony aggravated assault with intent to murder, so it must be potentially lethal, whatever it is. Scary stuff.

Police followed up with the church employee, who confirmed that she had been severely ill since Feb. 10, but several blood tests had yet to uncover why. She explained to officers that she initially didn't link the exposure to the paperwork to her illness because she had been getting over a cold and was on antibiotics. However, she told them that they stopped working around the same time as touching the paperwork, and she got even more ill.

She explained that she found the papers under the door at the church, and it appeared they had been there a few days. Within the same five-minute timeframe of touching the papers, she felt extremely tired, experienced profuse sweating and described her chest was feeling very heavy. After almost falling off a step ladder, the employee said she went home and was in bed until the next day and skipped work. The warrant said the employee reported that she has been out of work for weeks and is still suffering from extreme medical complications.

The FBI took custody of the letter for additional testing, but, so far, has not been able to identify the substance on the paperwork.

*my mind immediately goes to Anthrax because I was a state employee at the time and was restricted from opening any mail that came into the building at the time of the Anthrax attacks way back when.

One of the three alleged victims had already been symptomatic and on medication when she collected the papers, having returned to work and to tasks like climbing a ladder while still ill, and the two police experienced signs and symptoms of a panic attack and were not admitted or stabilized at the hospital. Stone apparently acted erratically when leaving the papers with the police and a third person, identified as a clerk, who seemed to have experienced no symptoms herself. Eta: other sources in the press have narrowed this down to two witnesses only, both officers working at the front desk?

We haven’t heard mention of any actual elusive white powder substance, just hints that it may exist, but this feels like Fentanyl Panic. Quaint touch that some MSM also reference anthrax fever.

The default timeline on some testing, 6 - 8 weeks, appears to have elapsed. I wonder whether they think anyone else is in danger?
