Ohio school board member resigns after apparent overdose

A first-term Ohio school board member resigned Monday after he was found unconscious from an apparent overdose last week.

Police in Akron were called to the 200 block of East Cuyahoga Falls Avenue early last Thursday evening, when Akron Board of Education member John Otterman was spotted passed out inside his SUV.

'His car has been on for hours... we shook the car, we beat on the windows and everything. He's not moving,' a witness described while speaking in the emergency call.

When police and paramedics arrived, the 57-year-old was administered four doses of the opioid overdose drug, naloxone, to be revived, the police report said.

During a vehicle search, authorities found fentanyl - an opioid said to be nearly 50 times stronger than heroin - as well as marijuana in the vehicle.

It's a true overdose only if you die, intervention not included.
