HAMILTON STREET 

Overdose

A 26-year-old man fell out of a Porta-Potty after overdosing on heroin Monday, Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said.

The man met up with his 19-year-old friend to shoot heroin in the portable facility, according to a police report. DeSpain said the older man ingested a larger amount of heroin than his friend did.

Paramedics were the first to arrive on the scene, followed by the police force, DeSpain said. The man who overdosed was taken to the hospital after being revived with a couple doses of Narcan, according to police reports.

“I can’t believe I almost died on heroin,” the man said in the police report.

NORTH FRANCES STREET 

Battery

A witness said a 23-year-old woman was temporarily knocked unconscious after a dispute outside a restaurant on North Frances Street Sunday night, according to an MPD incident report, which is the block that contains the Nitty Gritty. 

University of Wisconsin Police were able to track down the suspect, who later explained that he picked the woman up by her armpits and dropped her to the ground, according to the report.

The woman had confronted the man about condescending remarks he had made earlier, slapping him in the face, the witness said in the report. 

She had regained consciousness by the time police arrived, but she was still taken to a nearby hospital, the police report said.

EAST SIDE 

Accident – Injury

A 19-year-old woman struck a bicyclist with her car at an east side intersection Monday evening, according to Madison police reports.

The report said the driver may have had a medical emergency, which caused her to lose consciousness at the wheel. 

The woman hit the median and then went across other lanes of traffic before hitting the bicyclist. Afterwards, she collided into a parked van, according to DeSpain.

Both the driver and the bicyclist sustained injuries that were not life-threatening, the report said.

WEST SIDE 

Burglary

MPD arrested three suspects following a residential burglary Monday afternoon. The suspects fled the home of a 26-year-old man after being discovered. The victim then chased and almost caught one of the suspects, according to the police report.

After the victim called 911, police arrived on the scene shortly. 

They arrested one suspect after a short chase. Another suspect was arrested after being discovered in a car, and yet another suspect was found in a Jacobs Way home, DeSpain said.

“With his help, we were able to get into the area where the suspects had fled,” DeSpain said.

All the suspects denied involvement in the burglary, according to the police report.
