A Hancock County man has been arrested for drugs that were involved in a man's death.

Greenfield Police Detectives have arrested James B. Woolsey, 37, of Greenfield, on suspicion of dealing drugs that resulted in the death of a Greenfield man in February.

On February 24, Greenfield Police and EMS personnel were dispatched to a home on Sherwood Drive for a cardiac arrest. When officers arrived on scene, a man later identified as Joseph Shephard, 41, was found to be unresponsive. Officers administered Narcan and performed CPR but despite all lifesaving measures, Shephard died at the scene.

From evidence located at the scene detectives were directed to James Woolsey. Woolsey had been communicating with Shephard via cell phone just prior to his death.
Woolsey was located and interviewed Thursday. As a result of this interview and investigation, he was arrested and transported to the Hancock County Jail where he is being held on a preliminary charge of Dealing in a Controlled Substance Resulting in Death, a Level 1 felony.
Formal charges will be determined and filed by the Hancock County Prosecutor.
