Greenwich Police announced on Tuesday that a second subject was arrested by warrant stemming from a June 2019 near-fatal overdose in Greenwich.
On June 15, 2019 Greenwich Police Officers were dispatched to a private residence on Josephine Evaristo Avenue on a report of an unresponsive female.
Upon arrival officers located the unconscious patient in a bathtub and began life saving efforts. They identified her vital signs as very weak and determined she was likely suffering from a drug overdose.
They quickly administered two doses of naloxone before seeing a positive response from the patient.
Medics from GEMS arrived on scene, took over care and then transported the patient to the hospital. The female eventually recovered and was released from the hospital.
