Avon Lake Man Goes To Wrong Apartment, Passes Out On Couch

AVON LAKE, OH — An Avon Lake man had a shock when he came home and found his neighbor passed out on his couch. Police reports said the neighbor had to be given an anti-overdose drug but refused to be taken to a hospital.

On Tuesday, Dec. 3, an Avon Lake resident who lives in an apartment on Moore Road, came home and found his 35-year-old neighbor on his couch. Police believe the neighbor, who moved in three days prior to the incident, simply went into the wrong apartment.

When the Avon Lake Fire Department arrived, the neighbor was unconscious but breathing. Narcan, the anti-opioid overdose drug, was given to the man and he roused, the police report said.

The 35-year-old denied using drugs and refused to be taken to the hospital.

The resident did not want to pursue charges against his neighbor, police said.
