Lebanon woman faces drug charges for the third time in two months


LEBANON, Maine (WGAN) Police arrested a Lebanon woman who began to overdose on meth and heroin while hiding inside of a closet.

Maine State Police arrived at a Lebanon home to arrest 21-year-old Tianna Fermino on Monday for violating probation in connection with a drug charge in New Hampshire.

Troopers found her in a closet, where she then had to be revived with Narcan after overdosing on meth and heroin.

She was taken to a hospital in Sanford and treated, then taken to York County Jail.

Fermino was already out on bail for previous drug charges, and on probation out of New Hampshire for another drug offense. She had been arrested twice in the last two months; once on March 8th for unlawful possession of drugs and again on April 7th for drug trafficking and violating conditions of release.
