Two Columbia Falls police officers were recognized at the March 3 City Council meeting for saving lives while on duty in separate incidents.
On Jan. 13 about 6 p.m., officer Micah Friesen responded to a call of a vehicle that had hit a building in the 800 block of First Avenue West. The driver of the vehicle was suffering an overdose.
Friesen found the driver, 20 year-old Sidney Sweetin, on the ground outside the vehicle breathing abnormally with his eyes rolled back into his head, which Friesen saw as signs of an opioid overdose.
