I would assume so, but from what I can find, there’s only a short clip of the video online. It’s from the bar’s surveillance cameras, so I assume they were continuously filming. The clip shows a man walking out of the bar (or maybe into another room of the bar?)Is the entire interaction on video?
it is a suburb of Houston.Wow! The comments on the article linked in the OP are downright harsh!
Small town, I'm guessing.
Because there is this idea that we don't see victims as people unless we relate them to others.why does it matter that he's a husband and a father? weird.
If they got a 12 or 14 panel test from Walgreens, it will show up.There are rumors online that the drug test was positive for buprenorphine. Buprenorphine does not show up on regular or expanded drug tests, per drugs.com:
"Although buprenorphine is similar to opioids, it is sufficiently distinct in structure to morphine that it essentially shows no reactivity in commonly marketed morphine-specific immunoassays.
Detection of buprenorphine requires entirely separate immunoassays that are specific for this compounds, or another sort of testing, such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, which is expensive."
I’m thinking it’s hard to take this news story seriously as presented in this piece, so maybe that’s why the joke-y comments there.Wow! The comments on the article linked in the OP are downright harsh!

It feels like the reporter was treating what you’d think is a serious issue and story in a flippant way.
For example:
in the video, why does the reporter show a re-creation of when the unknown man sat next to Melissa and said what he said to her—by using himself to play both Melissa and the unknown man? Just weird.

‘I don’t remember anything’: Dad drugged at Montrose bar after drinking his wife’s drink roofied by a ‘creepy’ guy
A father and husband was drugged while out drinking with his wife at a Montrose bar.www.click2houston.com
So he took a home drug test instead of going to a hospital: "The next day he took an over-the-counter drug test, which lit up like a Christmas tree for drugs he’s never taken before."
Lit up like a Christmas tree for drugS he's never taken before? Very odd. So not only was the guy able to slip an drug into the drink of a woman who was with a guy in seconds in front of her, but he slipped multiple drugs in?
Also, re the police treating this as legitimate: "The family filed a report with the Houston Police Department. In the meantime, they’ve been working with the owner of Rudyard’s. He wasn’t able to speak on camera, but he wants to help in every way possible."
So no word on how LE is treating this, just that a report was filed. I assume the "they" above working with the owner Rudyard's is the family because what would LE be working on "in the meantime"?
Story has holes IMO. I don't want to argue with anyone but I think someone needed a cover story for their drug use in the bathroom at the bar.

Depends on pill or strip. The pill is mildly bitter. The strip tastes like orange.One can absolutely order buprenorphine tests online, either separately or as a u/a panel with other common drugs. As part of the panel they are more expensive but it is a regular urine test. It is sensitive enough. A confirmation sample can be sent to a lab, though, but not necessarily. I would be surprised that buprenorphine can’t be taken with alcohol. It’s recommended not to drink when on it, but show me a bar that serves strong drinks. It is another thing that in Suboxone, a burprenorphine/Naloxone combo, Naloxone decreases the urge to drink alcohol.
I have another question, though, is buprenorphine tasteless and odorless? Google results mostly comment on Suboxone, but say it is a mixture of two bitter tasting substances, so I assume buprenorphine alone is bitter and not a good candidate for a roofie.
This doesn’t negate the possibility that the husband is on Suboxone (and it is good that he takes it regularly as it saves lives) and there was a roofie in the drink and they didn’t work well together.
It can happen so quickly. Some of the drugs are now clear, and so can be quickly dropped into a drink, in a split second. If she was texting someone, he could have easily dropped it into her drink without her noticing.Respectfully, there are TikTok videos for an innumerable number of things that are untrue. I remain skeptical of this story, and it's not because I don't believe women. Quite the opposite.
An orange strip cannot be added into a drink. In general, I can imagine a list of medications that have a roofie-like effect if added into a drink (or if used with suboxone, but not unknowingly) but they are neither tasteless nor white or odorless. So it is probably safe to assume that buprenorphine was the prescribed drug, and more conventional roofies were added into the drink. Anyhow, it is scary as it could have had very serious effect on the person.Depends on pill or strip. The pill is mildly bitter. The strip tastes like orange.
So sorry you had this experience. I cannot begin to even imagine what that must have been like for you.well that bar needs better surveillance - can barely see the creep
I've been roofied (twice) - it's the worst experience and I wasn't even victimized beyond ingesting it but it really does throw you for a loop
ALL THE YES. There are so many.It happens everywhere, noting some, fwiw.

Dallas bar Harlowe MXM closes two weeks after two women said they were drugged
Two women who went to Harlowe MXM in Deep Ellum for a girls night out said they believe they were drugged by the bartender.www.dallasnews.com
Several years ago I was unloading the dishwasher and came across a glass I didn’t recognize. When I asked about it, my dad said he and his bowling team friends went to the bar in the bowling alley after they were done playing. My dad got a soda (no alcohol) and took the glass because he felt the price was so ridiculously. Not the right thing to do, but hysterically funny because my dad was so straight-laced I would NEVER have expected this of him.i know its a serious situation but im cracking up at "well i didnt want to waste $8" with how expensive everything is now id probably have drunk it too
OMG Are you serious? You can't be. You're obviously just trolling. Right?So he took a home drug test instead of going to a hospital: "The next day he took an over-the-counter drug test, which lit up like a Christmas tree for drugs he’s never taken before."
