Ledyard Man Charged In Teen's Drug Overdose

LEDAYRD, CT — A Ledyard man was charged in connection with a near-fatal drug overdose last year, according to police. Malik Nunn, 27, of 56 Coachman Pike, was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment and illegal distribution of prescription medication.

Police said that Feb. 27, 2020, a 17-year-old girl was found unresponsive on the walkway of her home. Police and emergency personnel responded to the call.

Medical personnel determined she had overdosed and administered Nar-Can all while performing CPR. After being treated by medical personnel, the girl was able to breath on her own again and able to communicate with paramedics. She was transported to L&M Hospital for treatment.

Police said that an investigation determined that Nunn provided the 17-year-old girl with prescription narcotics which she took in his car and then passed out.

Nunn drove her back to her house while she was unresponsive and got help getting her out of the car and onto the walkway. Nunn told a witness that she took "something" but he couldn’t afford to get in trouble and left before police arrived.

Nunn turned himself in to police Friday. He was remanded to the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center.
