Administration of Narcan

[Lt. Robert Osborn]

On 10/21/15 at 9:29p.m., Newton Police responded to a Water Street residence for a report of an unresponsive female.

  

Upon arrival at the scene, patrols observed the 26 year old female to be unconscious in the basement of 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 female regaining consciousness.  She was then transported to the Newton Medical Center by Newton First Aid Squad.

 

Investigating Officers:

Ptl. Daniel Finkle, Ptl. Mahir Kaylani and Ptl. Jose Morales
