An officer saved the life of an overdose victim, but it took four doses of Narcan to do the job. A Lawrence County Deputy responded to an overdose report on County Road 21 just after 4 pm and found a man unresponsive inside a home.
The deputy administered a dose of Narcan and rubbed the man’s sternum with no results. It took three more doses of the lifesaving medication before the man came to, but he was barely responsive.

When EMS arrived on the scene, the victim refused to disclose what he had taken. The deputy provided a pamphlet about drug treatment options, and EMS transported the man to the hospital for treatment.
