GOSHEN – Orange County
Sheriff’s deputies had to administer three doses of Narcan to a
man who had overdosed on heroin at a Town of Wallkill residence.
Deputies were called to the scene by a 911 call. When officers arrived,
they found the victim in the basement with shallow breathing and his skin
turning gray.
The man was transported to Orange Regional Medical Center by ambulance.
Police said the man has recent history of addiction and Narcan revival. The investigation is continuing.
Sheriff Carl DuBois is committed to the opioid epidemic by targeting dealers responsible for its spread. To aid in eliminating the drug problem, the sheriff urges residents to call 845-291-2106 to leave anonymous tips.
