Tuesday — An Erie County man suffered an apparent drug overdose at an apartment on the 300 block of West Pearl Street.

Emergency crews got there and found Jesse J. Post, 37, of Wattsburg lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. A Butler Ambulance Service crew administered the opioid antidote Narcan, which revived him, according to a police report.

Post acknowledged that he used one-half bag of heroin. He was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital for further treatment.

10:14 p.m. Monday — A fight on the porch of a home on the 600 block of West Penn Street left a Butler man in the hospital with injuries. Dale Carothers, 32, suffered a head injury and a broken left rib in the altercation, according to a police report.

Police said Carothers got into a mutual fight with a 20-year-old Butler man who lives at the home. Officers were called for two men flighting and found Carothers bleeding from the head. He was treated by Butler Ambulance Service paramedics before being taken to BMH.

The other man was not charged since police believe he acted in self-defense.

1:17 p.m. Thursday — An Armstrong County woman was found with suspected heroin and other contraband after dozing off in a sport utility vehicle on McClain Avenue.

Police were called after someone reported seeing a woman, later identified as Daniella Ann Whipkey, 25, of Ford City, passed out in the front seat of the SUV, court documents said.

An officer knocked on the window to awaken Whipkey. When she opened the driver’s door, police noticed a stamp bag of suspected heroin in the door and a syringe in the center console. She told police the items did not belong to her and that she was tired, documents said.

Whipkey is charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.

Sept. 19 — Aaron J. Atchison, 19, of Butler was charged with the July theft of an Apple iPhone, valued at $399, from a sport utility vehicle on College Street.

The victim notified police July 22 that he had a video from a neighbor’s surveillance system that captured the crime, according to court documents. An officer viewed the video and recognized Atchison and a 15-year-old boy as the alleged thieves.

The video showed the pair checking the doors on several vehicles parked on the side of the street before they entered the victim’s unlocked SUV and rummaged through it for about a minute.

Atchison is charged with theft from a vehicle. Police did not identify the youth, who is charged with theft from a vehicle in Butler County juvenile court.

8:49 p.m. Sept. 16 — A Kittanning man was caught with suspected crack cocaine among other drugs on the 400 block of West New Castle Street.

Police found Benjamin T. Zellefrow, 39, after they got a call of drug activity in the area, according to court documents. An officer spotted a white van leaving the area and stopped the vehicle at the entrance to Memorial Park. Zellefrow was one of two passengers in the van driven by another man.

The driver allowed police to search his vehicle. When Zellefrow got out, documents said, police saw him throw a cigarette pack onto the back seat and put his left hand into his pants pocket. An officer grabbed his left arm.

A search of the cigarette pack turned up a small rock of suspected crack. Zellefrow was later searched and found with 20 empty bags of suspected heroin.

He is charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.

Sept. 14 — Michael W. Menzock IV, 25, of Evans City was charged in connection with a traffic stop earlier in the month during which he ran from police, who later learned he was wanted on a bench warrant.

Menzock was a passenger in the vehicle that was stopped for a minor traffic violation about 11:45 p.m. Sept. 8 on McKim Street, near South Green Lane. While police were speaking to the driver, the defendant got out of the car’s front passenger door.

He walked west on McKim Street and then took off running, according to court documents. An officer yelled for him to stop, but he kept running. Police momentarily lost sight of Menzock before he was eventually arrested and handcuffed.

Asked why he ran, the defendant replied, “I was scared and got warrants,” a police affidavit said. He was searched and found with a container of suspected marijuana.

Police said they also retrieved a marijuana grinder that he had discarded while running off.

Menzock was arraigned on charges of flight to avoid apprehension or prosecution, and possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. He was placed in the Butler County Prison on $25,000 bail following arraignment.
