Details of the case:

According to a criminal complaint, around 11:59 p.m. on Monday, June 11, Oil City Police Officers were dispatched to a residence on Martin Street in Oil City for an EMS Delta response for a 22-year-old female — a possible overdose.

Upon arrival at the scene, officers made contact with the known homeowner who directed them to the stairs and stated, “She’s upstairs. I don’t know what she took. I was asleep and heard a bunch of thumping around.”

According to the complaint, upon reaching the top of the stairs, the officers made contact with a known male, who was holding up a known female who was unresponsive and vomiting.

Another female, identified as Alexis Kelly, was also in the room.

As medical personnel arrived at the scene and began treating the patient, Kelly and the known male were asked what the patient had taken.

According to the complaint, Kelly stated that she thought it was meth, but she was not sure. Kelly stated that the victim “shot up” the meth. Patrolman Karns then asked Kelly if she helped the woman, and Kelly allegedly said that she did, the complaint states.

The woman was attended to and transported by Community Ambulance Service.

According to the complaint, officers also recovered two loaded syringes, the syringe used in the overdose, a spoon with residue, a fold of paper commonly used to package street drugs, a white iPhone, and two pipes, one of them containing a green leafy substance suspected to be marijuana.
