Overdose victim in Marshall County revived, but faces charges

News Release

LAPAZ — Emergency responders were able to resuscitate an overdose victim Thursday night in Lapaz.

Emergency responders were alerted to a parking lot with a driver unresponsive, with the vehicle still in drive.

A 40-year-old man, Jonathon P. Dalton, showed signs of a possible overdose, so a window on the vehicle was broken to gain access to assist the driver. 

An officer administered a dose of Narcan, which was followed by a second dose from Lapaz Fire. 

Dalton began to breathe and gained consciousness. 

He was transported to Bremen Hospital, where he was found to have suspected fentanyl hidden in his possession. 

Once released, he was transported to the Marshall County Jail.
