On February 25th, 2010 at about 3:12 pm, McMinnville Medics and Police were dispatched to 3584 NE Spring Meadow Drive on a report of a male and female that were unresponsive and not breathing. According to dispatch, a resident of the house was attempting to provide CPR to one of the subjects.
When officers and medics arrived, they worked on and transported the two subjects to the hospital. During this initial contact, officers noted a variety of pills, alcohol containers, drug paraphernalia, and medications throughout the residence. Both subjects appeared to be the victims of an overdose.
The unresponsive female, Brytney Gillingham, 20, currently staying at 3584 NE Spring Meadow Drive, was revived and admitted to the hospital.
Despite the efforts of medics and hospital staff, the unresponsive male, David Lent, 21, currently staying at 3584 NE Spring Meadow Drive, was determined to be deceased at the hospital.
The female resident, Michelle Jean Jones, age 38, stated that the two subjects and three other friends of the subjects had been sleeping in her residence. She had taken a nap and was awakened by one of the friends when they noted that the two subjects were not breathing. She called 911 and attempted to perform CPR on David Lent. She thought the three friends were helping Brytney Gillingham. Instead, according to neighbors, the three friends fled when they heard that she called 911.
McMinnville Police Department later served a search warrant of the residence to locate and seize any substances that may have been involved in this incident. The investigation is continuing to determine the substances or combination of substances given to David and Brytney and where these substances came from. We are also attempting to locate and interview the three friends that fled the residence. Yamhill County Sheriff's Office and the District Attorney's Office assisted with the preparation and service of the search warrant.
Anyone with questions or information regarding this incident or the persons involved in this incident is asked to call Detective Toby Carver at 503-435-5618.
