** Kentucky police in Mount Sterling arrested a man Friday after he allegedly assaulted an EMT after the latter gave him a dose of Narcan. That is the word from WKYT (June 9) which said William Lillie has been tagged with 3rd degree assault. According to the news site, EMS found an unresponsive but uninjured Lillie in the back seat of a car after being hailed to an MVA in the early morning hours. When Lillie revived from his drug overdose, he violently pushed a medic and fled the ambulance. He was arrested a short time later. Montgomery Fire/EMS Battalion Chief Jeffrey Jackson said while those revived with Narcan often come up swinging when they come to, Lillie’s reaction was over the top.
