Madison Police Officers were dispatched to Reynolds Park for a man yelling. Officers arrive and find a suspect with his pants down, screaming on the tennis courts. Officers observed two to three dozen hypodermic needles some appeared to be used next to the suspect.There was also a female suspect on scene near the male suspect who immediately ran away but left behind a purse.
Ultimately, through the officers' investigative efforts, drug paraphernalia was recovered and .5 grams of fentanyl was found in the shoe of the male suspect. The abandoned purse contained more drug paraphernalia and the female suspect's identification card.
