Deceased Male
On March 7, a deceased male was reported along the freeway. It appeared that the male had been deceased for a few weeks and there did not appear to be any signs of foul play or drugs in the area.
Double Drug Overdose
On March 10, a 12-year-old girl called Escondido Police Dispatch to report that her mother and her male friend were unconscious and would not wake up. Police and fire units arrived and several doses of Narcan were given to both subjects who were breathing but still unconscious. Drug paraphernalia items were located in the room. Both the male and female were transported to Palomar Medical Center (PMC) for further treatment and the girl was transported to a relative’s house. After being released from PMC following the overdose, the woman retrieved her 12-year-old, as well as her 5-year-old, and went back to the Escondido Lodge. Child Welfare Services attempted to contact the woman to try and get a drug test done on the 12-year-old since she was present during the overdose. The woman refused entry and was arrested for felony child endangerment as a result of the overdose from the night before.
