Administration of Narcan

[Lt. Robert Osborn]

On 2/10/16 at 10:30a.m., Newton Police responded to a Center Street residence for a report of an unresponsive male.

  

Upon arrival at the scene, patrols observed the 51 year old male to be unresponsive in a bedroom within the apartment while displaying signs and symptoms that were consistent with a heroin overdose.

 

As a result, responding patrols administered Narcan and performed rescue breathing which subsequently led to the male regaining consciousness.  He was then transported to the Newton Medical Center by Newton First Aid Squad.

 

Investigating Officers:

Ptl. Michael Wolanski, Ptl. Joseph D'Annibale and Sgt. Steve Benson
