From the Adair County Sheriff's Office The life of an inmate at the Adair County Jail was saved due to the quick actions of Deputies and Medical staff and a new drug being used called NARCAN, that is used to reverse the effects of opioids. A inmate who was being housed at the Adair County Jail was booked in on November 3, 2016, at approximately 9:30amCT. At around 11amCT, Chief Deputy Jailer Eric Antle noticed something strange with the inmate while delivering him food to his cell. Chief Antle noticed that the inmate was not breathing and described his lips as being purple. Chief Antle immediately notified the on duty nurse who administered CPR while Antle called 911. Thanks to recent training, Nurse Rita Bray was able to determine that the inmate had possibly overdosed prior to his arrival, and administered NARCAN to him. Nurse Bray said that the NARCAN worked immediately as she noticed signs of life coming back to the inmate. The inmate was transported to a local hospital by EMS and Jailer Joey White for observation. Jailer Joey White advises that he would like to see in the near future an increase of Deputies working the floors per shift and all his employees trained to use NARCAN due to the increase of drug related incarcerations. Jailer White advises that this is the second incident NARCAN has been used in his jail and is very pleased with the results it's provided. Jailer White would like to thank Chief Deputy Antle, Nurse Bray and EMS for their quick response and the staff at the Adair County Jail for being observant as well.
