MUNCIE, Ind. — Three Muncie residents made news in Dayton, Ohio, this week when they allegedly overdosed on heroin in the parking lot of a McDonald's restaurant.

Media outlets broadcast video shot by a witness showing the unconscious victims in a blue Mustang on Monday afternoon.

Police identified the three as Adam K. Shields, 29, of the 1600 block of South Franklin Street, and Kinsey Jente, 26, and Holly Terry, 35, both of the 2000 block of East 26th Street.

Shields and Jente were revived by Narcan, a prescription that reverses opioid overdoses, according to police.

Terry, who also appeared to be overdosing, awoke without the help of Narcan and was quoted by police as saying she did not use drugs.

All three were transported to a hospital, where Jente gave police a statement that the three drove to Dayton to buy heroin.

"Jente stated that an unknown man in an unknown vehicle flagged them down and gave them a phone number," according to a police report. "Jente stated that Shields called the number and they met up with the dealer. Jente stated when they got the heroin, all three of the individuals used the same needle to inject the heroin."

Dave Fitzgerald, a witness, told News Center 7 that Shields' lips were blue and he was shaking and foaming at the mouth. "The young girl in the back seat passed out right in front of me," he said.

Muncie and Delaware County police have long said that Dayton is a major source of heroin to residents of East Central Indiana.

Shields was jailed in Dayton on a drug charge after police found two clear gel capsules containing heroin in his pants pocket. He is wanted in Muncie for failing to appear in court on a charge of driving while suspended.
