Medal for Lifesaving: Deputies revive unresponsive inmate

On June 30, 2019 at 8:20 p.m., Deputies at the Central Men’s Jail received a call of an inmate down. 

Deputies Franco, Miller, Schoeman and White entered the dormitory and located the inmate lying lifeless on his bunk.  The deputies moved the inmate to the floor and immediately began CPR. While performing CPR they noticed the inmate was exhibiting signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose, so they administered two doses of Naloxone.  After nearly 15 minutes of CPR, the inmate regained a pulse and started breathing.

He was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.

The deputies were awarded the Medal for Lifesaving for their actions that day.
