Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement:
Deputy Revives Overdose Victim With “Narcan”
On December 25, 2017 at 7:46 p.m. the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department received a report of an unconscious male at a home in a subdivision in the north part of the county.
Deputy Chance White was dispatched to the residence along with Reservoir Fire and Pafford Ambulance due to the possibility of an overdose.
Deputy White met a female at the residence who stated that her boyfriend had been drinking all day and had been smoking marijuana and taking oxycodone. Deputy White made contact with the unconscious male who was unresponsive and not breathing well. Deputy White administered “Narcan” to reverse the effects of a drug overdose. Shortly after administering the “Narcan”, the victim began breathing stronger and his status improved. Fire and medical personnel arrived on scene and took over treatment.
All Rankin County Deputies have been issued “Narcan” thanks to a grant from the Mississippi Department of Mental Health. This is the first case where a Rankin County Deputy has saved a life using the new drug.
We thank the Department of Mental Health for providing this life saving drug to law enforcement officers across the state at no cost.

Who pays for this medicine ?
Congratulations on saving a life, Deputy White!
Deputy reverses Darwinism
You always here about bad cops or perceived injustice. Rarely do you hear about how much good LEO does. This country would be a free for all without people willing to take the abuse, low pay and risk. Thank you Deputy White.
Reverses Darwinism true and this guy was doing something really dumb and destructive, but consider what else Darwinism can allow when society takes that path!!! I'll stick with this charade of society and order any day.
There is always a second chance to get it right.
No girlfriend, boyfriend or neighborhood name. Must have been somebody w/ the means to keep things quiet??
Thank you SO much, Deputy Doright, for saving this sterling individual!
The Drug Lords of Mississippi were on the cusp of losing one of their customers. This would have been doubly tragic, considering that the importation of new customers, from Mexico, has been sharply curtailed by the nation's new President. In fact, he has sent many of the Drug Lord's best customers BACK to Mexico. So truly, the Drug Lords cannot afford to lose any home-grown customers. This is why it was so important for Mississippi's lawmakers (most of whom are in the employ of the Drug Lords, and the fine people who own the drug treatment facilities) to have the state's Law Enforcement Officers carry Narcan.
Job well done! Now, this fine man will be able to continue smoking weed, popping pills, and drinking himself silly. Mississippi's taxpayers don't mind paying for his emergency room visits, or for YOUR kindly visits to his abode. We have been waiting all our lives to make such a sacrifice through our tax Dollars. This is why we pay taxes. Thank you for making it possible for us to continue subsidizing this fine man's existence! Thank you! Thank you so much!
Thanks to you and Governor Anita Bryant, we can look forward to paying for this Narcan Success Story's hospitalization, when his noble lifestyle results in whatever expensive chronic conditions eventually manifest themselves. We're sure the bills will amount to hundreds of thousands - maybe even MILLIONS - of Dollars.
And when this fine rescued individual, in a stupor caused by alcohol-drinking and blunt-smoking, eventually gets behind the wheel, and KILLS one or several Mississippi Taxpayers (and/or one or several of our children), we will thank you again. Because THEN, we will have "given one hundred percent"! We're only TOO glad to do so, in order to keep fine people like Governor Anita Bryant, and the Drug Lords of Mississippi, in business.
This person should be billed for the Narcan. Soon we will have the same problem as Ohio and PA--communities literally going bankrupt because the city governments can't buy enough of it. Google it if you don't believe me..
9:13 - look in the mirror....the government doesn't have ANY money it didn't take from YOU.
Every government benefit should come with an IOU. Use 1,000 dollars worth of Narcan and 5,000 in ER service? Come tax refund time, that money should go to whoever paid for those services. Got $9k in food stamps for 2017? your 8,800 tax refund should be sent to pay that back. When will it stop?
If you actually read the damn post, you will see where the funding came from.
Great! I agree with the flow of the comments here! Darwinism was indeed reversed! Play stupid games, you get stupid prizes! Just WHO is going to pay for this junkies treatment? He saved his life so that he can continue to get his next load! Don't get me wrong, people can change, for the better, IF they want and make a valiant effort to do so! I couldn't afford to be a dope head, selling my goods, stealing for the habit, I hate needles and do NOT particularly care to feel out of my mind! I smoked weed "back in the day," and that's where it started and ended! I never had a desire to progress/abuse further, to any other illegal/ legal drugs! Stop the pity parties! Little sympathy was shown for crackheads and I sure as hell don't have any for methheads, dopeheads and whoever else chooses to misuse their body, in this manner! :)
Maybe this guy will learn his lesson and go to rehab or something positive will happen. Can’t we be happy the cop saved a dude? Haters gone hate. I agree he should have to reimburse the county for the expenses of the call and meds tho.
that junkie had enough $$$$$ for oxycodone, pot, and booze, but he will not have a crying dime for the costs of his ambulance service, hospitalization, doctor bills and follow up treatment. all that will fall on the taxpayer. how happy is the ending to this story now???
