A 29-year-old Canfield man was revived using the anti-opiod drug naloxone, after he was found unconscious and not breathing in a Glenwood Ave. apartment complex parking lot about 1:30 p.m. on Sun., Oct. 2.
Ptl. Evan Beil answered the call of a man slumped over the wheel of a green Mustang at 4051 Glenwood Ave.
“His lips, face and hands were blue-ish in color. His skin was extremely pale and ashen in color. He was not breathing,” Officer Beil said, noting “clenched” in the man’s left hand was an uncapped hypodermic needle, “filled with an amber liquid.”
Officer Beil said he did not feel a pulse on the man and immediately began to use life-saving measures, including CPR, in an attempted to revive the man.
“Boardman Fire Department and ambulance paramedics arrived and took over life-saving procedures,” Beil said.
The victim was given the anti-opiod drug naloxone and regained consciousness.
He was identified as Michael Alan Vrable, 29, of 5642 Bayhill Dr., Canfield, Oh.
“[He] confessed to consuming ‘a little bit’ of heroin,” Beil said. Vrable was taken by ambulance to a Youngstown hospital.
Officer Beil said the car driven by Vrable smelled of pot.
The car was search and inside police found a marihuana grinder, suspected pot, a package of cotton Q-tips, a burnt spoon, a glass pot pipe, a tourniquet and a pill bottle with the date 8/2/2013, Officer Beil said, adding the pill bottle contained at least two, different types of scheduled drugs.
“I seized the property...along with the syringe containing suspected heroin that was removed from Vrable’s hand,” Officer Beil said, noting the car was impounded and the evidence was held by the Boardman Police Department. |
