Did he use anything, you know of? >> no idea, man. We smoked. That's it. We didn't even smoke nothing at all. >> Wake up, Caleb. >> I don't know. He just passed out. I don't know what >> I gave him Narcan. He hasn't woke up yet. >> We had 12 people this weekend OD we cannot get to in time. >> Sometimes cops make arrests. Other times they conduct welfare checks. But what happens when they show up at a home or in a traffic stop and meet someone about to cross the great ribbon from substance abuse? >> What's your name, bro? >> Take me to the hospital. >> All right, buddy. >> Here are several moments when cops from overdoses. Starting with Rachel, who got a second chance to live just because her underage daughter was brave enough to dial 911 when her mother passed out after overdosing. >> Rachel. Wake up. What are they doing? That's like that. Perhaps you overdosed on something. Almost asleep again. You can't stop breathing. >> On the second day of May 2024 in Ohio, officers received an emergency call from a young girl whose voice was trembling as she reported that her mother had collapsed outside their home after allegedly taking an illicit substance. Calls like this were nothing new to the officers. So at first they treated it just like another routine overdose call. But the moment they arrived at the location they quickly realized there was far more to the story. >> You got Narcan? >> Did you guys find her? >> Oh, no. Yeah, and then I tried to get her out here. >> Uh-huh. >> And but >> Oh, so you dragged her out here? >> No, she walked out here. >> No, she walked like five or stairs. >> Uh-huh. >> And then she kept on falling and uh sleep. So, and then she wanted like she kept on just standing there asleep. So, we picked her up and put her out here. And then we called y'all. >> Okay. You've never known her to take anything? >> No. >> No, I gave her some worm and ginger >> It didn't take long before the officers managed to bring Rachel back to life. For a brief moment, it looked like the tension was over. But that relief didn't last long. If she was lucky to walk away from this mess, it only be after she gave answers to the mountain of questions the officers had lined up for her. Rachel. >> What? >> Wake up. >> What? >> All right, there we are. She said I had to pass out on the porch here. >> I I passed out the other day and that's all I remember. >> That's all right. Yeah, that's all right. >> Well, she has a broken arm. >> It sounds like that. Perhaps you were days old or something. So, did she wake up after the Narcan? She was great. >> She didn't feel so good. >> And yeah, I know. >> I was weak and I I only know my water and my ankles and Well, I'll I'll go get her a glass of water. >> I can't write it. What's your name? >> Rachel. >> What's your birthday off the top of your head? >> I don't know. >> Adam. >> Despite finally yielding to the officer's pressure and finally admitting that she had messed up, the officers still weren't done with her yet. The situation had already crossed the line and there was still more beneath the surface they intended to uncover before the night was over. >> What did you say I was supposed to tell you? I just wanted to know if you were okay. He was wanted. He took an overdose. I'll take a chance. I don't think he'll >> In the end, she was charged with disorderly intoxication and was issued a court date, which she failed to appear for, leading to a warrant being issued for her arrest. And she was 4 months later. Unlike Rachel, Cable was brought back to life by the cops at the very last minute. Just when it seemed like all hope was lost after he overdosed. >> Caleb. >> Let's wake up Caleb. Does he use anything you know of? >> I have no idea, man. We smoke That's it. We ain't even smoke nothing at all. >> The deep holes in your legs and breathing and the fact that you were almost dead tells me you did. >> On a cool evening in Ohio, an officer received a frantic call from a man reporting that his friend Caleb had overdosed on an illicit substance and was slowly getting cold right in front of him. With overdose cases becoming almost an everyday reality, the officer initially didn't think that this call would be anything out of the ordinary. But the sheer panic in the caller's voice made it clear that if she was going to save Caleb's life, they couldn't afford to miss a single detail during the call. >> What is the emergency? >> Somebody passed out, bro. I don't know what's wrong with him, bro. I don't know if he's high. I don't know, bro. Somebody needs to come here now. >> Okay. Let me get you over to the paramedics. Sir, I'm a police officer. Please talk. Getting you over to the paramedics. Are they breathing right now, sir? >> No, I don't know what the problem is. >> Caller, this is fire. What's the address of the emergency? Okay, fire. 2100 Lake Club Terrace. I got it written up as a possible overdose. >> Okay. 2100 Lake Club Terrace. All right, is that a house or an apartment we're coming to? Talk to me. Hello. >> Upon arrival, the moment she laid eyes on Caleb, a wave of shock hit her hard. Though she did everything she could not to let it show, especially when a civilian was standing nearby watching her every move. Immediately, she jumped straight into action, knowing that there was a razor-thin line separating Caleb from crossing over to the world beyond. >> Is he in the car? Can he not start? Do you know him? Do you know him? >> He won't move. I I didn't throw water on him. I didn't push him. He won't [ __ ] move. I don't know what the [ __ ] >> Do you know him? >> Yeah, I know. He's my friend. We >> He's your friend? Do you guys both live here or are you just visiting? What's his name? Do you know his name? >> Yes. >> What's his name? >> Caleb. >> Caleb. Caleb. Can you turn the car off? If you can reach in there, take the keys out. >> What the [ __ ] >> 140 North Candlewood. >> Copy. Hey man. Hey man. >> Caleb. >> Let's wake up Caleb. >> Yo. >> Time to get up Caleb. Come on buddy. Come on buddy. >> No. >> Come on buddy. Caleb. Caleb. Caleb. Come on buddy. Stop playing. It's time to get up. Come on. Did he use anything you know of? >> I have no idea man. We smoke. That's it. We ain't even smoke nothing at all. >> Come on pal. Come on pal. Come on. Come on. Come on buddy. Come on pal. Squeeze my hand. Come on. Squeeze my hand. Squeeze my hand and wake up. It's time to get up. Time to get up Caleb. Come on Caleb. Come on buddy. Come on. Wake up Caleb. Grab my hand. Grab my hand Caleb. Come on Caleb. Wake up. Wake up Caleb. >> I don't know. He just passed out. I don't know what the [ __ ] >> I gave him Narcan. He hasn't woke up yet. >> Okay. We'll give him another one. Get him one out of here. >> Come on pal. Come on. Grab my hand. Grab my hand. Come on. Come on. Wake up Caleb. Caleb. Wake up. Come on buddy. Come on Caleb. Come on Caleb. I'll switch you. >> Despite everything the officers tried, even after EMS arrived and joined the desperate effort to revive Caleb, nothing seemed to be working. With every passing second, it felt like life was slipping out of Caleb. At this point, it was no longer about what illicit substance he had taken or what treatment they should have given him. The situation boiled down to one terrifying question. Whether Caleb was ever going to wake up. >> Caleb, wake up. Oh. Oh. >> I gave him Narcan. Yeah, probably 3 minutes prior to you getting I aired it, so I don't know what time. You grab his keys? >> Yeah. >> Okay, okay, I know. Okay. But, as long as you secure the vehicle. >> [music] >> While the officers waited to see if Caleb would regain consciousness, the officers had some questions for Caleb's friend to answer that could ultimately determine how this day would end. >> Is this his current address? >> No, he's uh no, on the ID. >> On the ID, uh it says 19 >> Yeah. >> 13th Ave. Okay, do you have his phone number? >> Yeah, he do. >> I'm going to try to get him in contact with the REACT team to get him rehab information. >> Okay. >> So, he stays away from this junk. Okay. Did you live here and that's why he came here? And you said he could have been out here 5 to 10 minutes and you came out here and found him like this? >> He's been here like 30 or 45 minutes he's been here. I don't know what the [ __ ] happened. I don't know you know what I mean? >> Were you sitting in the car with him and >> Mhm. And then he just like started sweating and passed out and I don't know why. >> And you guys think he took >> I don't know what's going on. Yeah, I don't >> All right. >> Like I said, man, we smoke weed or something like we haven't even smoked anything today or anything like that. I don't know what the >> Yep. >> He's like talking to [ __ ] >> All right. >> Miraculously, Caleb regained consciousness. But, that wasn't enough to cut the tension hanging thick in the air. In fact, it only raised even more red flags. The officers still had a mountain of questions Caleb and his friend needed to answer. >> Either you can start talking to me or you can start talking to them and then I leave. Understand? Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Thank you. Now, yes or no, do you know why we are here? >> No. >> Why? You just said yes, you know why, and then you said I don't know. I'm being really patient, man, but I need you to talk to me, okay? >> Okay. >> Again, yes or no, do you know why we are here? >> Yes. >> Why? >> I don't >> You think it's why? Just be honest with me, what did you do? You're not going to jail, you're not doing anything like that, but I need you to be honest. Your pupils, your lack of breathing, and the fact that you were almost tells me you did. So, again, this will be a lot easier if you just be honest with me, okay? >> I mean >> Got a number? >> She's my partner. He doesn't even know his case. I'll get the react team to contact you. >> That's okay. >> And get him something. >> Over here. >> Just do it. >> Cuz we we had 12 ODs this weekend from ODs that we cannot get to in time. Like that's the that's only narcan I have. They don't give me more narcan. 813 1602, okay. I mean, he can't answer questions, he can't think, then we have to they'll take him, which is good because um staff can give him narcan. >> I don't have that. >> Yeah, I totally get >> You know, I don't have that kind of stuff. So, I can I can reach out to like that's me on my own time reaching out to them and and I'll do it cuz my cousin died from OD. I take it very seriously. So. >> All right. So, here's what we're going to do. We're going to get you out of here. We're going to go in the back of my car and we're going to check you out a little bit more. Understand? You ready to do that? All right, let's go. >> If they're so dude, I think if you're all taking them, I'd rather him have his phone if that's okay. >> We don't know. They're going to They're just going to just do a further assessment, but yeah, um we'll grab his phone and his wallet. >> Don't worry about that. We're just going to connect it when we don't need it anymore. Don't worry about anything in there. Nobody's going to touch anything, all right? Thank you. 69771 All right, come on with me. Check it on the ear. All right. Come on with me. You go over here. >> In the end, Caleb was charged with operating a vehicle impaired. Caleb was lucky to be saved just in time, but he was nowhere near as lucky as Laney Ashley, who got saved at the point of no return. >> I see her a lot. She's usually tweaking, but this is more than normal. >> Ma'am, we can't leave you here in the alley by yourself. >> No, you'll get hurt if you stay here. You don't want that. >> On a sunny day in Columbus, Ohio, an officer on patrol received a frantic call from a passerby reporting that a woman, later identified as Laney Ashley, was acting completely out of control after allegedly taking illicit substances. >> 911, where is your emergency? >> Uh hey guys, I'm new in the alley. There might be a lady here OD'ing. >> Okay. I Hagan what? >> Hag and uh, what's the name of that street? She's right in this alley on the corner. Hag and uh, I should know that street. I live right off of it. Um, Hag and Let me Let me back up and see what this street is cuz she looks like she's in really bad shape. I live at 46 Hag, but she's not that far down the alley. >> But she's in the alley behind 46? >> Yeah, almost. Yeah. >> Okay. >> It's almost 46, but she looks in bad shape. >> Okay. She's in the alley >> And yeah. >> Okay, is she in the alley between Hag and Harris? >> Yes. Yes. There's a brick building right here on the corner of the alley. She's sitting right here. She's really uh, She really looks like she needs some help. Uh, Wickler. And [music] it's Wickler. >> Okay. And your name? Okay, sir. We'll get police and medics out to check it out. >> Oh, please do. Thank you. >> When the officer arrived on scene, he discovered EMS and several other units had already gotten there ahead of him. And just as he was about to jump in and assist his fellow officers in bringing the tweaking woman under control, he approached the witness who narrated to him what had happened. >> How you doing, buddy? >> Hey, man. Walked up and down my alley right >> Yeah, she's been walking up and down Broad like that lately, too. This is a little bit more active than she normally is. She's normally kind of tweaking out. >> Yeah, I just hate to see it, man. I I'm a substitute counselor and I I come home, I just get it through. >> Really? >> And I saw her, man. She was just like actually out. >> Yeah, usually she's a little twitchy, but not quite like this. We'll see if we can get her in the hospital. Thanks. >> Ironically, the officer knew Laney very well. This wasn't the first time he had gotten involved in her case. But what the officer didn't know was that this time around she might not survive. >> Do you have any medical problems? >> No. >> No. Good. Any prior arrests? Yes, sir. Can you spell What's your last name? >> Garfield. >> What is it? >> Laney. >> Laney? >> Hey, man. Do you know her? I see her a lot. She's usually tweaking, but this is more than normal. >> This is tweaking and better. >> Yeah. She's always on Broad Street. >> Let me be clear here. I'm going to have to warn you. You can be locked up for obstruction. >> You got a medical need? >> I think so. >> You do? Hey, Ashley. >> Okay. >> Can I take your heart rate? >> No. >> Hey, Ashley. Put your pipe down. Here. Why don't you sit and lean against the wall so that way you don't fall over backwards. >> I'm fine. >> No, you're not fine. >> I'm fine. She's going to try to put it in her bra. >> Yeah. Ashley. Stop it. Listen. >> I don't know. >> Did you get it? >> Yeah, it's over here. >> Ashley, what else do you have on you? >> Is this the same one from a couple weeks ago? The officers managed to recover the substance she had on her before Laney could even realize it. But that wasn't the bone of contention here. Laney was not yet to turn fully aggressive, and the officers knew it was only a matter of time. And they understood one thing crystal clear. If there was any chance of saving her, it had to be now or never. In the end, she was charged with disorderly conduct and possession of illicit substances. Still on cops saving people under the influence from overdoses, here's a case of a routine traffic stop that turned into saving a user. 32-year-old James Roy the very last minute. He was about to cross the great ribbon. On June 7th, 2024, an officer pulled over a driver for driving recklessly. But little did they know, in just a matter of minutes, the routine stop would turn into a case of them trying to save a man whose life was clearly slipping away. Yes, sir. While the inspecting officer returned to his patrol car to run through the driver's information, he noticed something strange. The man in the passenger seat was completely unconscious. At first, he thought he might have just been dead asleep, but the longer he looked, the more his gut told him something was seriously wrong. >> All right, sir. I'm going to have you step out of the vehicle. >> All right. >> You got no weapons or anything on you? >> No. >> All right, I'm going to pat you down. >> All right. >> So, get somewhere from me. >> Calm down. >> I'm under arrest? >> No, you're not under arrest. I'm going to have you put your phone outside of the break, okay? Then you can have it right back. All right, so you can grab your phone. I'm going to have you stand over here by the sidewalk. >> Yeah, he's been using >> He's been using. He needs a medic. >> He doesn't have nothing. >> Does he Does he use? >> Sir, just be honest. We just need to know whether we need to get a medic. >> But I need you to call her. >> He was reaching for You tell her to call her back. I told her >> I'm just going to call 24. >> You tell her that. >> I can't tell her. >> At this point, the officers had already confirmed the passenger was a user, and the driver wasn't exactly clean, either. And the worst thing was that they had dragged a minor sitting right behind Roy straight into the mess. This was no longer just another traffic stop. It was now a race against time to save Roy. >> Mr. Roy! Roy! >> That's the bag you kept passing. >> Yeah, she reached it and was doing something behind her back. Do you have a Narcan? >> I got Narcan before. I ain't going to If there's something in there, I'm breaking his face. >> All right. >> He's unconscious, so >> Here. Can I Can I get in? >> Uh we we've got a Narcan, probably, sir. >> But you don't need a Narcan, buddy. >> Oh, yeah. His His pupils are the size of a needle. >> I can wake him up. >> No, we'll take care of it, sir. Thank you. >> Hello. His mom's on the way. >> Okay. >> Listen. This is crazy. Every time I turn around, I'm involved in some crazy >> Narcan I was called for. He's going to give it to him because he's unconscious. >> They just gave him a shot of Narcan. >> All right, chill. Our Narcan's been administered at the front seat passenger side. >> I got him the Narcan. >> Now, buddy. >> Roy! You good? >> All right, you awake now? You awake now? I think I will. You got any weapons on you? Anything that's going to hurt a medic? His nose is bleeding now. We gave you Narcan. What did you take? >> It wasn't the Narcan. It's I've been up for I was like up for a while. >> No, you don't go like unconscious like that. >> No, I wasn't unconscious. >> Yes, you were. You need to be honest with the medics. >> I know. I know. I >> It's Narcan that's what just woke you up. Cuz being being tired does not make your pupils go like needles. >> Okay. >> Luckily for Roy, the officers managed to save him just in the nick of time. Funnily enough, in that tense atmosphere, Roy and the driver, still intoxicated, were expecting a farewell address from the officers so they could continue their ride home. >> Bring your feet together. >> We gave him We gave him one thing. >> Perfect. >> What is this from? >> Let me check this. >> No. >> He was checking him. >> You got anything in here? >> No. No. >> He was claiming to be sleeping. His His pupils were freaking me. >> Well, it's bright out. I mean, it's night out. >> Yeah. >> Where's his keys? >> They're in the car. >> This car? >> Tell him he's allowed to drive home. >> Where's his mom? >> Yeah. >> That's >> We were taking him out of here. He was going to pass out in the car. >> I don't know what was going on. I got a phone call. >> Do you want to go to the medical tent? >> So I came to get the car. >> You guys want to hang out here for just a second? You can hang out here for just a >> Can I get my shoes? >> We'll get them, sir. We'll get them. >> Her mom's on her way to come get her. But you guys >> Man, I'm sorry about all this crap. >> All right, do you want to grab that off >> What's that? >> Do you want to grab that off the ground? >> He seems excited. >> I'm not a dog handler. >> James. I swear there's nothing that I didn't have in that car, bro. >> I we haven't hid nothing. >> You see what they doing to me? That's cuz that dog hit that car. >> He's upset. >> It's always just the dog that gets you. >> You see what they doing to me? >> It ain't my car, it's my mom's car. >> There better not There better not be nothing in there. >> There isn't nothing in there mind. You know what? It's my It's my mom's car, right? >> James. There better not be nothing in that car. >> If there is, I'll tell my mom. >> While Roy was still trapped in his hallucinations, his mother arrived at the scene. The moment he saw her, a spark of hope crossed his mind, believing that she had come to his rescue. But minutes, that fantasy was about to come crashing down before he could even finish processing the thought. >> Dude, are you his mom? >> Yes, I'm I'm James' mom. Roy. Roy. >> I think he He snorted something. We had to use some more canine. >> Did you? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He needs to go to jail. >> Does he live well? >> He needs to go to jail. >> We're looking to see if he has anything. >> He needs to go to jail. I mean, who don't around here? >> I don't. >> I mean, you're a police. But who around here don't? You know what I mean? >> There's some people don't, ma'am. >> I know. I know you're right. >> live with you? >> I mean, he stays with me, but I mean, we we bounce around a little bit. >> Okay. >> You know. >> But but he does >> We was living right here in this house right here. But um >> What do you know what he uses? Cuz he's saying he didn't take anything. He said he's sleepy, but you're here. >> He He might be sleepy. >> Yeah, but his pupils don't constrict like his. >> But when I when I got when I got back um he wasn't there so I've been trying to call him and he didn't answer so I don't know cuz I wasn't with him. Yeah, I can't say. But um >> Is this his girlfriend? >> Yes. >> She got home too but she's all right with you. >> Yeah, yeah. >> Okay. >> Who knows then? >> Okay. >> You know what I mean? Honestly. >> I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. >> They may have he may have done something earlier taking the stuff so I don't know. >> Okay. >> But >> Well, they've been been doing something in the car because >> Yeah. >> the random plain odor in the dog really liked the car. >> He did? >> So there there's definitely narcotic odor in the car. >> Well, there might be an odor but there >> Right. That's the dog just says there's odor. >> Yeah, yeah. Shut the [ __ ] up. Shut up. >> And like I said, just get give us figure out what we're doing though. Did you walk down here or drive? >> I walked. >> Okay. How old is he? Is he an adult? >> He's 18. >> Okay. He's old enough to know better. >> He is. >> All right. Just give us a few minutes and thank you for coming down. >> After an officer spoke with James's mother, the suspects could only watch from a distance as officers thoroughly searched the car and uncovered a stash of illicit substances. The moment the evidence started piling up, both the officers and the suspects knew the writing on the wall. There was only one way that this night was going to end. >> All right. So so this is going to be inside of the field of signal. Your court date if you choose to contest the citation on 6 14 2014 a.m. courtroom 1A. Choose to contest the citation. If you choose not to contest the citation, back of your pink copy is going to be a 614-615 number. Call that number prior to your court date to find out your fine amount or if you want to extend your court date. See if they're willing to work with you as well as how to mail in proof of insurance so you don't become a suspended license. I'm taking it. You got a copy of it. Okay. Here's your copy, sir. You're free to leave. >> In the end, he was charged with possession of illicit substances, endangering children, and operating a vehicle while impaired. He was issued with a date to appear before a court. Next is this addict who is begging officers not to save him after he got mixed up in a messy situation due to being overdosed. >> Quit. QUIT. QUIT. QUIT. >> I don't want to tase him, but I don't want to get poo on me. >> Stop. I don't deserve this. >> On a sunny day in Ohio, officers received a 911 call from a concerned neighbor reporting that a man who was clearly intoxicated had been acting wildly throughout the neighborhood with human waste all over his body and behaving so unpredictably that nobody felt safe getting anywhere near him. >> 911, what is the location of your emergency? >> Um um Fort Nashoba, there's a guy laying in the alley. He's hurt and calling for help. >> Fort Nashoba? >> Yeah, he's laying right in the middle of the alleyway. He can't move. >> Okay. Can you hear what See or hear or see what's wrong with him? >> Uh no. I mean, I just want to find See him. Some guy said he called, but we we heard something, but then no sirens are coming. Uh wait a minute. >> Is he a white guy wearing a white t-shirt and gym shorts? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah, we've got the call for service. As soon as there's an officer available, we'll send them out there. Do you want to speak with the responding officers? >> Um no. Oh, never mind. They're They're here now. >> All right. Thank you. >> When the officers finally arrived, they assumed with EMS already at the scene and multiple units backing them up that they would quickly get the situation under control and call it a day. Little did they know that this situation was going to take far more than numbers to bring under control. >> Quit. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Well, I just don't want him grabbing cuz he's got got it all over his hands. So, that's what I'm watching for. >> Quit. Quit. QUIT. QUIT. QUIT. >> WHAT'S YOUR NAME, BRO? HEY, BUD. I DON'T THINK this is normal. Hey, bud. What is it? Tom? Stop. All right, go ahead and stop for us. Where's your other shoe, man? Hey, we're going to stop. We're stopped right here. Where's your shoe, bud? Do you know where your shoe is? Come Come in closer. I can't hear you. HEY, BUDDY. >> [screaming] >> PLEASE DON'T RUN. HEY, BUDDY. STOP FOR US. DO ME a favor. Sit down.

Stop. >> Nobody's doing anything to you, man. >> Stop. >> Sit down for me. >> Just sit on this step right here, man. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. >> No, you stop. >> At this point, the officers weren't just exhausted, they were frustrated. Somehow, despite their number, the junkie man still had every officer walking on eggshells and staying on their toes. >> I didn't do anything. >> All right. >> Stop. Stop. >> Let me see, bud. >> Stop. No. >> Take it >> Stop. STOP. STOP. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. QUIT. >> JUST >> STOP. STOP. >> TAKE IT EASY, MAN.
