Double overdose with child present
Date: July 11, 2022
Case #: 22-5507
On Saturday, July 9, 2022, at approximately 10:30 AM, BPD responded to a motel in the 1400 block of 14th Street W. for a possible narcotics overdose of two people. The report was made by motel staff, who, in the process of providing room service, located a man and woman unconscious in their room. A four-year-old child was also in the room, unharmed.
A motel employee administered NARCAN to the 46-year-old woman, and EMS responders administered NARCAN to the 51-year-old man. NARCAN is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
Both were taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital under the Marchman Act, which permits law enforcement officers to take a person, or persons, under Protective Custody to his or her home, to a hospital, or to a licensed detoxification or addictions receiving facility, whichever the officer determines is most appropriate.
The child, identified as the couple’s grandchild, located in the motel room was taken into custody by a Child Protective Services investigator.
