A normal warrant service request quickly changed when deputies discovered a male not breathing.

On May 3rd at approximately 9:48 a.m. Sergeant K.P. Lytle and Deputy B.W. Gildea responded to Woodstream Boulevard in an attempt to locate a wanted suspect. The Prince William County Police Department had a reckless driving warrant for a male suspect believed to be at this residence. Deputies made contact with the suspect and informed him of his wanted status. The suspect was cooperative and requested to wake up his friend to let him know of the news.

The suspect attempted to wake up his friend but was unable to. With that concerning information, deputies took a closer look and discovered the male was displaying signs of overdosing. Deputies quickly jumped into action and began administering aid. Narcan was administered and the male’s breathing began improving. Fire and Rescue arrived and took over primary care. The male was taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment and is expected to recover. The wanted suspect was served on his outstanding warrant and was released by the magistrate on personal recognizance.

Amazing job to Sergeant Lytle and Deputy Gildea for their quick actions to save a life.
