Norwalk Woman Charged In Near-Fatal Overdose Case: Greenwich PD

GREENWICH, CT — A Norwalk woman accused of providing drugs to a Greenwich resident, who overdosed and nearly died earlier this year, was arrested Monday, police said. On June 15, officers responded to a home on Josephine Evaristo Avenue, where they found an unresponsive woman in a bathtub, police said.

Officers began "life-saving efforts" on the woman, whose vital signs were very weak, and determined she was likely suffering from a drug overdose.

Officers quickly administered two doses of naloxone and were able to get a positive response from the woman, police said. She was taken to a hospital, where she eventually recovered and was later released.

Detectives from the department's narcotics section concluded that two people sold and administered the drugs to the woman and obtained arrest warrants for both suspects, police said.

On Monday, officers responded to the Norwalk Police Department to take custody of Ryan C. Ramsey, 33, of Norwalk. She was charged with second-degree assault, sale of narcotics and conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and sale of narcotics.

The accused was held in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

"GPD is expecting to serve an arrest warrant in the near future on the second suspect who is currently incarcerated for a different case," police said. "Greenwich Police continue to focus special attention on those who sell or distribute illegal drugs within our community. We urge individuals, or the families of individuals, suffering from drug addiction to seek help."
