Three women report possibly being drugged while drinking at Davis bars, police say

Police said Monday they have received three reports in the past week from women who experienced symptoms indicating they may have been drugged while drinking at bars in downtown Davis.

Three women have recently been treated at a hospital for symptoms, including blacking out, that were inconsistent with the amount of alcohol they had reportedly consumed, the Davis Police Department said in a news release Tuesday.

Police say that the women may have consumed drinks possibly tainted by a drug. The specific drug possibly used is not currently known.

Two of the woman reported experiencing the symptoms after drinking at Wunderbar on G Street, according to the news release. A third woman experienced similar symptoms after consuming a drink at Bistro 33, authorities said.

The incidents reportedly occurred over the past three weeks.

The Davis Police Department is investigating and will increase foot patrols near downtown bars.
