Over the last several days Thomaston Police Department has responded to numerous incidents of “Unresponsive person(s)” in a motor vehicle. In each of these incidents, the vehicles involved were located with an unresponsive operator, with the vehicle in DRIVE. These incidents collectively have resulted in several arrests and seizures of various narcotics, including he**in and fentanyl.

We want to remind the general public, if a person is located unconscious in a vehicle, there are many inherent dangers of the situation, including the possibility of uncontrolled acceleration of the vehicle, other passing vehicles, or the unknown contents of the vehicle. Unknown to a Good Samaritan, there could be narcotics such as fentanyl, or he**in in close proximity to the person, and often Police Officers locate uncapped needles during narcotic investigations.

Should a Good Samaritan attempt to assist an unresponsive person, please be aware of the potential dangers of the situation and the possibility of exposure to fentanyl, he**in, and other illicit substances.

If you believe a person is unresponsive in a vehicle, dial 911 immediately, and follow any directions given by the dispatcher. Don’t get injured or become an accidental overdose victim yourself.
