More Evidence Of The Area’s Massive Heroin Addiction Problem

The Multi Area Nar­cotics Unit now says sev­eral drug-related arrests were made as a result of an inves­ti­ga­tion of two recent sus­pected heroin over­doses. Last Thurs­day, 37 year old Chad­wick Wise­man of Defi­ance, was found suf­fer­ing from what appeared to be a heroin over­dose. Wise­man was treated at a local hos­pi­tal and released. Agents located sus­pected heroin at the scene. Then on Fri­day, 33 year old Jes­sica Lav­i­gne was also found suf­fer­ing from an alleged over­dose. Lav­i­gne too was treated at a local hos­pi­tal and released. Lav­i­gne and 22 year old Shuntel Tilot have now both been arrested for pos­ses­sion of heroin and child endan­ger­ing. They are being held at CCNO. The inves­ti­ga­tion of those two heroin over­doses resulted in the arrest of 33 year old Mar­tin Alejo and 32 year old San Juanita Kim­met, along with 31 year old Ben­jamin Smith II of Defi­ance, and 36 year old Melissa Simonin of Paulding.
