Bartholomew County Sheriff Matt Myers is urging community members to attend tonight’s “Moving the Needle” workshop. That’s on the heels of yet another suspected heroin overdose in the community.

This time the incident happened in the Taylorsville area yesterday afternoon.

Deputies report that witnesses noticed a vehicle had been sitting in the area of the 11 thousand block of North U.S. 31 for about 45 minutes. Although they initially saw a man and woman in the vehicle, when deputies arrived only the man remained and he was unconscious with his keys in the ignition.

The victim received four doses of Narcan before starting to breath again. He was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital.

Community leaders in Bartholomew County will be kicking off a new effort tonight to deal with the ongoing heroin epidemic. The event will feature Dr. Kendall Stewart from southern Ohio and a video presentation by author Sam Quinones

Stewart is the chief medical officer at Portsmouth, Ohio’s Southern Ohio Medical Center. Portsmouth was the town at the epicenter of the heroin epidemic outlined in Quinones’ book “Dreamland.”

Stewart said that the heroin epidemic defies simple solutions, but he thinks Bartholomew County is on the right track.

The event begins at 6:30 tonight at The Commons.
