Administration of Narcan/Heroin Overdose

[Lt. Robert Osborn]

On 3/29/15 at 6:30p.m., Newton Police responded to a Spring Street apartment for a report of an unresponsive female.

Upon arrival at the scene, patrols observed the 27 year old female to be unconscious and displaying the signs and symptoms that were consistent with a drug 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 Newton Medical Center by the Newton First Aid Squad.

Patrolman Daniel Finkle, Patrolman Thomas Tosti, Sgt. Frank Philhower
