GILLETTE (WNE) — A 31-year-old man was ticketed for drug use after a 65-year-old woman found him in her home Friday night.
The woman called police after finding the man in her apartment in the 600 block of Tyler Avenue. She had not given him permission to be there, but she was able to get him out of her apartment and into the hallway.
He appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance, and EMTs were called. The woman showed police a syringe that she found in her apartment, in the place where the man was lying, said Police Deputy Chief Brent Wasson.
The man was taken to the emergency room. Officers found several used syringes, as well as property the man had left in the woman’s apartment. They also suspected the man of using some of the woman’s prescription medication, Wasson said.
The man had been trespassed from the apartment in 2022.
Wasson said it did not appear that he broke in or forced his way into the home. He was ticketed for use of a controlled substance and criminal trespass.
