Addiction Recovery

Officer assists woman with drug addiction

Good Cop, Great Cop –

August 15. 2020 – Fisher, of Mahoning Township, was called to make an arrest last year for a drug offense of a Montgomery County woman.

“I was investigating a prescription fraud, and my investigation led to this woman and she was taking prescriptions and writing them out for medications,” Fisher said. “She told me she needed help.”

Fisher said this particular woman whom he helped fight through her addiction holds a special place in his heart.

“Her story is amazing,” he said. “She started out having surgery, started having pain, that’s how she got tied into this.”

Fisher, in his role, would eventually help get the woman into a narcotics recovery program.

“She said she loved the way I treated her,” he said of the woman, whom he believes to be in her 40s.“That I kind of pointed her in the right direction.”
