Police reports initiated two hours apart from one another detail two drug-related, but unrelated, incidents at a Westchester Drive apartment complex.

An apparent overdose victim and narcotics equipment were found at Westchester Square Apartments, 4821 Westchester Drive early Monday, reports said.

Police and firefighters administered the opioid-reversal drug naxolone to revive a 38-year-old Youngstown man in a resident’s apartment at 12:10 a.m., the report said.

Upon arriving, police said they found the man with a blue face and breathing shallow breaths. Police administered two doses of naloxone and firefighters administered two additional doses, the report said.

The man was transported by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital after resuscitation, the report said. Police confiscated a water bottle containing four syringes and found an additional syringe in the resident’s bathroom, the report said.

Police were called about 1:48 a.m. to the same complex and took possession of a box containing 55 unused syringes, one used syringe, a digital scale, a metal spoon with a burnt bottom and an empty pill bottle that was found by a resident in a basement laundry room, the report said.
