Jail Refuses Overdose Victim 

Jail Refuses Overdose Victim 

At 10:17 am, officers responded to a report of a woman overdosing on Williams Street. Medics revived the woman with Narcan and transported her to the hospital. 

After doctors at the hospital cleared her, police learned she had an open warrant from Washington County and took her to the Scioto County Jail. 

The jail refused to accept the woman because she had recently been given Narcan. Officers took her back to the hospital to be medically cleared, again.
