Upon arrival at the scene, Mowery told police he was the Potters' friend. Officers, suspicious of Mowery’s involvement with Potter’s overdose, advised him of his Miranda rights. According to police, Mowery admitted to possessing and giving heroin to Potter. Potter was found unconscious and EMS had to administer aid until he regained consciousness. EMS removed a syringe with needle and a burnt spoon from Potter.
