A 58-year-old Waterford man may face narcotics-related charges after Farmington Hills police found him laying unconscious in a parking lot at 12 Mile and Orchard Lake roads late Friday afternoon. 

According to the report, officers were called to a medical facility on a report that a man was having a heart attack. They eventually found the unresponsive man laying on his back in the rear of the parking lot. As medics were treating the man, police learned that he had a recent arrest for heroin possession and driving under the influence of drugs. The report indicated that medics observed signs of a drug overdose. 

The man was taken to Botsford Hospital, where personnel turned his clothes over to police, based on concerns that he may have kept needles in his pockets, according to the report. As police searched the clothes, they found two folds of heroin.
