On 4/28/15 at 8:01p.m., Newton Police responded to a Spring Street apartment for a report of an unresponsive male.

Upon arrival at the scene, patrols observed the 25 year old male to be unconscious and displaying the signs and symptoms that were consistent with a heroin overdose.

As a result, Ptl. Scott Vertetis administered Narcan which subsequently led to the male regaining consciousness.  He was transported to Newton Medical Center by the Newton First Aid Squad.
