MELROSE — Police dealt with a couple more drug overdoses last week, made a heroin possession arrest, investigated some motor vehicle break-ins and responded to the usual wide variety of calls for assistance.

On Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7, police were able to revive a woman and a man who had overdosed on drugs in separate incidents. On March 6 at 5:50 p.m. officers received a 911 call reporting a drug overdose. Police arrived and found an unconscious woman. Using Narcan, a substance carried for these types of situations, police revived the woman. She was then taken to the hospital.

When an officer arrived, he reportedly saw one of the men injecting heroin into his arm. The officer also saw other evidence of drug use and as a result arrested 29-year-old Jon Kathe, 40 Lowell Rd., Concord, for possession of a Class A drug (subsequent offense) and conspiracy to violate the drug law.

On March 6 at 12:01 a.m., police began investigating an alleged assault in the parking lot of the Richdale store on West Wyoming Avenue.

The victim told police that as he exited the store two men were standing beside his car. One made a comment to the victim, who kept going and got into his vehicle. Then the man attempted to pull the victim’s driver’s side door open, yelling for him to “get out and fight.” The victim was able to pull his door shut and as he pulled away in his vehicle one of the men struck it.
