Paris, Tenn.—A female inmate who overdosed while being booked into the Henry Co. Jail Sunday was cleared medically and has returned to the jail after treatment at Henry Co. Medical Center.
Jail Administrator Captain Steve Dean Sr. told WENK/WTPR that the inmate overdosed while entering the jail. He said jailers gave the inmate a dose of the NARCAN nasal spray which reverses opioid overdoses.
He said the inmate was transported to the hospital and received further treatment there. Jailers are trained in the proper application of NARCAN.
