Cheyenne Police Warn of Increase in Overdoses

The Cheyenne Police Department is warning residents about an increase in overdoses reported over the past week. Since April 6, officers and emergency responders have responded to five overdoses, two of which were fatal. Three have occurred within the last 24 hours. Investigators believe this spike may indicate an increased presence of fentanyl in the local drug supply.

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that can be deadly even in small amounts.

While the most effective way to prevent an overdose is to avoid using illegal drugs, the CPD also encourages residents to take the following steps to protect themselves and others:

Be aware of the signs of an opioid overdose:
• Loss of consciousness/unresponsiveness
• Slow, erratic, or stopped breathing/pulse
• Blue or purplish lips or fingernails
• Gray or ashen skin tone
• Choking or gurgling sounds
• Vomiting

Residents who may be at risk, or who may be in a position to assist someone experiencing an overdose should consider carrying naloxone (Narcan), a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose if administered in time.

Naloxone is available by prescription or over the counter at many local pharmacies. Residents can speak with a pharmacist to learn more about obtaining the medication.

Resources:
- Emergency: If an overdose is suspected, call 911 immediately.
- Good Samaritan Protections: Wyoming Statute § 35-7-1064, provides limited immunity from criminal prosecution for individuals who report an overdose or seek emergency medical help for someone experiencing an overdose.
