The drug overdose of a 42-year-old Sturgeon Bay man on Monday has led to three women being charged with drug-related crimes and one additional woman being taken into custody.
The Door County Sheriff’s Department announced the charges Tuesday afternoon after it responded to a call of an overdose in the Town of Sturgeon Bay after 3:15 p.m. With the use of Narcan, the man was revived and transported to Door County Medical Center for treatment.
The incident triggered the Door County Drug Task Force to execute a search warrant on the home where deputies seized 16 fentanyl pills, a variety of drug paraphernalia, and numerous electronic devices.
A 31-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman who had outstanding warrants from the Door County Sheriff’s Department and the Wisconsin Department of Corrections was taken into custody after she was found hiding in the home. Two Sturgeon Bay women, a 19-year-old and a 47-year-old, were taken into custody for a variety of drug charges including possession of narcotic drugs without a prescription, possession of drug paraphernalia, maintaining a drug trafficking place, and possession of fentanyl. A fourth woman, a 44-year-old from Sturgeon Bay, was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia.
More charges could be on the way as the investigation continues.
