On 9/22/15 at 5:33p.m., Newton Police responded to a Spring Street apartment building for a report of an unresponsive male.

Upon arrival at the scene, patrols observed the 39 year old male to be unconscious in one of the buildings hallways and displaying signs and symptoms that were consistent with a heroin overdose.
