Narcaned & Tasered in Wayne Hills
A man had a pretty bad afternoon after police responded to a report of an overdose on Thomas Avenue in Wayne Hills just after 3 pm.
Witnesses said the man was not breathing. However, he took off on foot after being Narcaned, and officers chased the man to Kendall Avenue where they were forced to deploy a taser to take him into custody.
Police took him to the Scioto County Jail but the jail refused to take him since he’d been Narcaned and tased. An ambulance transported him to the hospital, where he was cleared and sent back to the jail.
The name of the suspect was withheld by law enforcement.
