A Bloomfield woman who overdosed on heroin was revived by the administration of Naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication. Now she's facing drug charges.

A warrant was issued last week for the arrest of Kaitlyn M. Byers, 23, Bloomfield, as a result of an investigation by Sergeant Jordan Allor of the Greene County Sheriff's Department into an incident that occurred on May 23.

Sergeant Allor and Deputy Michael Coy were dispatched around 5:47 PM to a residence on North State Road 157, Bloomfield, where a woman was reported to be unresponsive.

The woman, located in a back bedroom, was identified as Kaitlyn Byers. While unresponsive and laying in her bed. Deputy Coy administered one dose of Naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication, then performed a sternum rub.

When the Greene County Ambulance Service arrived, the deputies moved out of the way and Sergeant Allor then noticed a clear plastic corner baggie containing a black tar substance and several metal caps with handles containing cotton swabs. He said the metal caps are used to heat a drug and the cotton is used as a filter when filling a hypodermic syringe with the drug. He also saw a hypodermic syringe in a plastic grocery bag used as a trash bag hanging off the bedroom door handle. Ambulance personnel administered a second dose of Naloxone and Byers then began talking and trying to get up.

Another woman in the house said she'd been living with Byers for a little while and she was concerned when Byers told her where her “Narcan” was. The woman said she didn't want anything to do with that but when she could hear Byers in the room trying to breathe, she entered the room, saw a syringe and threw it in the trash because she did not want Byers to get into trouble.

Byers was transported to the hospital by the ambulance service.

After speaking with the woman who was living with Byers, Sergeant Allor went back into the room to collect evidence. He reported finding a plastic bag containing five syringes where Byers was laying. Those were collected along with the syringe in the trash bag, the metal caps with the handles and the clear plastic corner baggy. Sergeant Allor reported the black tar substance later field tested positive for heroin.
