NEWBURGH – A 29-year-old Newburgh
man, who was found unresponsive in a car parked in a residential parking
lot on Castle Avenue in the city, was revived with the overdose medication
Narcan.
Police Officer Roman Scuadroni responded to the scene and found the man
with his face blue and his breathing labored. A needle was located in
the vehicle so the emergency appeared to be drug related.
The officer had been trained in the administration of Narcan, which he
administered, bringing the man back to consciousness. He was treated by
responding Mobile Life Support paramedics and transported to the emergency
room.
This is the third instance of Newburgh City Police officers administered
Narcan. Over 26 Newburgh officers are certified to administer those kits.
