WARREN — At approximately 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 21 the Knox County Regional Communications Center advised deputies that they were sending rescue units to Finntown Rd. in Warren for a report of two unresponsive males in a vehicle. According to a media release from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were also advised that it was reported that the two had allegedly been using drugs.

Deputy Arthur Smith arrived and found one male lying face down in the road and a female attempting to perform chest compressions on him. The second male was sitting upright in a vehicle. Deputy Smith administered his Narcan — which all deputies are required to carry — to both individuals until Deputy Alicia Averill arrived. Upon her arrival, Deputy Smith administered the dosage of Narcan she was carrying as well, according to the release. 

A short time later, ambulances from Warren and Waldoboro arrived and took over care of the two males. The release indicates that both had become responsive at that time.

Both males were transported to Pen-Bay Medical Center and shortly after arrival left the hospital against medical advice, according to the release.

The news release states that deputies have talked to the witnesses at the scene and will pursue an investigation into the alleged drug use.
