State Police Treat Heroin Overdose Victim in Troop C Lobby

TOLLAND, CT — State police on Friday had to administer Narcan to a woman who had overdosed on heroin and came into the lobby of the Troop C barracks for help on Friday, a report shows.

The incident took place at 9:44 a.m. and state police had to close off the lobby to visitors for about 20 minutes because the woman was slumped against a wall near the dispatch window.

According to a report, a 39-year-old woman from Tolland drove herself to Troop C, located at 1320 Tolland Stage Road. She entered the lobby, picked up the phone, and told a dispatcher she thought she was "overdosing," according to a report.

Several troopers came to her aid in the lobby and the anti-overdose medicine Narcan was administered, according to a report. State police determined that the overdose was heroin-related.

She was taken away in an ambulance and appeared semi-alert while being taken out of the building.

No chargers had been filed as of Monday morning.
