When Dodge arrived, he reported finding 39-year-old Angel M. Tucker unresponsive and not breathing. Harris says that Dodge administered a dose of Narcan to Tucker, who was then taken to Columbus Regional Hospital.

While inside the home, officers reported finding a “small amount” of heroin, along with drug paraphernalia. Officers also determined that Tucker had an active warrant for her arrest for an alleged parole violation. Once Tucker was released from the hospital, Harris says that, in addition to the warrant, Tucker was arrested on preliminary charges of Possession of Heroin and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
