Narcan

Deputies with the Laramie County Sheriff's Office are being credited for saving the life of an inmate who was suffering from a drug overdose.

Sweetwater County has recorded nearly 30 deaths from drug overdoses since 2014.

Naloxone, or Narcan, is a nasal spray which troopers began carrying in March.

Sheriff David O’Malley said the hope is that access to naloxone will reduce drug-related deaths in Albany county.
