Chandler police early Saturday found a man outside the Chandler Public Library who, after arguing with his girlfriend at their mobile home, they said tried to overdose on methamphetamine.
Officers found Jose Parra, 29, passed out on the west side of the library. He was taken to a hospital, treated and released into police custody. Chandler police spokesman Dave Ramer said Parra had an outstanding drug-related warrant.
Ramer said a K-9 unit located Parra at about 3:30 a.m. He was unconscious. Ramer said if police hadn’t gotten to Parra when they did, it’s likely he would have died.
Police received a call at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday in the 400 block of East Erie Street about a couple arguing. The woman told police that her boyfriend, Parra, was upset and kicked wood siding on the trailer and cut electrical cords to security lighting as he left. He also took her cell phone. Having the phone helped police in finding Parra, according to Ramer.
“Ramer said if police hadn’t gotten to Parra when they did, it’s likely he would have died.” Officers, next time stop for donuts and coffee, please. Less paperwork in the long run.
Trust me when I say this, the fact this piece of garbage was found before he expired is a tragedy in itself. This guy has been and always will be a piece of garbage. Too bad the dang dog found him before that 5-7 minute window closed while he was turning blue and convulsing. Maybe next time he’ll just get it over with instead of threatening to get it over with, the coward. Oh well, job security I guess.
