Deputies from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office responded to two people in Pontiac in two separate incidents Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday, shortly before 5 p. m., deputies responded to a call about a man who had fallen down in front of the Perry Palace Party Store on North Perry.

The 51-year- old Pontiac man was unresponsi­ve, with “agonal breathing.”

After Narcan was administer­ed, the man regained consciousn­ess.

When Star EMS arrived, the man refused medical attention or transport to the hospital. Deputies released him at the scene.

Sunday around 2 a.m., deputies were called to Newman Lane for a woman who was not breathing.

An acquaintan­ce of the woman was attempting CPR on the woman when deputies arrived. The deputies took over CPR and saw a white, powdery substance inside both of the woman’s nostrils.

Deputies administer­ed Narcan on the woman, who remained unresponsi­ve but began to breathe with a faint pulse.

The 34-year- old woman was transpor ted to McLaren Oakland Hospital for further treatment.
