Arrested after possible OD

A Girard man faces an inducing-panic charge in connection with his suspected drug overdose, according to a police report.

Police were able to awaken McCleery, who was taken to a hospital. He told police he had taken an anti-psychotic medication, according to the report. Police did not report finding any drugs in the car, but took part of a plastic bag and $700 in cash from the vehicle.
