SCHUYLER, Neb.-A 40-year-old Schuyler man is alive today thanks to the quick actions of a Schuyler police officer.
Police said at around 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, officers were dispatched to the Schuyler Inn where a male subject was reported to be unconscious.
Police said Officer Chris Baete was the first to arrive on the scene and learned the man had ingested suspected Fentanyl before becoming unresponsive.
Police said Officer Baete administered one dose of Narcan, then another after seeing little improvement.
Police said following the second dose the man regained consciousness and began breathing on his own.
Police credited Region 4 Behavioral Health Systems for supplying officers with Narcan.
Police said Officer Baete, who graduated from the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center in December, fell back on his training in this, "difficult and stressful situation."
