WASHBURN COUNTY — An investigation by law enforcement that stemmed from a suspected heroin overdose has uncovered a drug house in the City of Spooner, WI.
Law enforcement received a report of a pulseless, non-breathing male at a residence in the City of Spooner, WI on August 3, 2020, shortly before 1:30p, according to a criminal complaint filed in Washburn County.
Spooner Police Department Officers who arrived on the scene found a male, later identified as Dustin Martin, of Cumberland, WI, lying on the floor of the residence. The man’s skin was noticeably blue in color and there was froth around his lips. The man had a weak pulse, but no indication of his chest rising from breathing.
After three doses of Narcan, the man did open his eyes and begin breathing, allegedly stating that he had used heroin. Authorities located two used syringes and a baggie containing methamphetamine in Martin’s pockets. Emergency medical services responded to the scene and Martin was transported by ambulance for medical care.
According to the criminal complaint, one week prior to this incident, officers had responded to a report of another suspected heroin overdose. Officers confirmed that it was the residence of Jeremy Englund, who was on probation for drug offenses.
During a search of the residence, Officers discovered a digital scale and multiple containers holding marijuana as well as numerous smoking devices (many of which tested positive for either marijuana or methamphetamine) including glass pipes, metal pipes, straws, rubber tubing, and a bong. Officers also found multiple used syringes and a dozen used/empty “Narcan” nasal spray.
