Three women were arrested following overdoses at the Henry County Adult Detention Center on Monday morning. At 5:10 am deputies were conducting rounds when they discovered a female who appeared to be suffering a medical emergency. The deputies immediately took action and began life-saving measures, including the administration of Naloxone. The inmate was stabilized and transported to SOVAH Health Martinsville.

A short time later, a second female inmate inside the same pod was also found to be suffering a medical emergency, and deputies again took action, including the administration of Naloxone and CPR. The second inmate was also transported to SOVAH Health Martinsville.

Investigators were able to interview both inmates at the hospital and obtain information as to how the narcotics came into their possession. Through the course of the investigation, multiple witnesses reported that a female inmate who had been inside the Adult Detention Center for seven days was recently placed into the female dorm yesterday.

According to witnesses, early this morning, that inmate retrieved a small quantity of an unknown substance from inside a body cavity and distributed it to the two inmates, who consumed it orally and then experienced an overdose.

47-year-old Kathy Smith Hacker of Axton, 27-year-old Amanda Hill of Bassett, and 30-year-old Case Lynn Rogers have been charged with felony procure, sell, secrete or have in their possession any chemical compound which they have not lawfully received.
