Jackson police use anti-heroin drug to revive man

JACKSON, Wis. - Jackson police have used the drug Narcan to counter a suspected heroin overdose two weeks after the department received its first Narcan kits.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports police found a Milwaukee man unconscious on a commuter bus. An officer noticed his pupils were constricted and administered a dose of Narcan into the man's nose.

Police say the man regained consciousness around two minutes later and was able to communicate with authorities. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Police say he likely used heroin before boarding the bus in Milwaukee and missed his stop in Germantown.

Gov. Scott Walker signed legislation allowing more first responders to use Narcan as part of an anti-heroin bills package earlier this year.
