LEBANON (WGME) -- Maine State Police say a New Hampshire man was charged with endangering the welfare of a child after he was found overdosing in his vehicle Tuesday morning in Lebanon.

Troopers say they were called to a parking lot along Rt. 202 around 8:50 a.m. for a report of an unresponsive man in a vehicle with an 18-month-old child.

Troopers arrived on scene and found a man that appeared to be suffering from an overdose.

As a trooper was about to administer Narcan, the man woke up.

Troopers arrested 34-year-old Christopher Dube, of Rochester, New Hampshire, and charged him with endangering the welfare of a child and unlawful possession of a schedule drug (heroin/fentanyl).

He was taken to the York County Jail where bail was set at $500.

State Police contacted the New Hampshire Department of Children and Youth Services and the child was later turned over to a family member.
