Madison police arrested Sarah Dampier, 34, for possession of heroin and neglecting a child. James Wilson, of Wisconsin Dells, was also arrested for possession of heroin, according to the police incident report.
The suspect's 26-year-old male friend waited outside of the car at the Woodman's Food Market West parking lot, 711 S. Gammon Road, while she ""shot-up,"" Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said.
When the man checked on the woman, he saw that her lips were blue and she was unresponsive. Wilson then called 911, and the dispatcher told him to take the woman out of the car and perform chest compressions, police said.
Wilson was allegedly performing chest compressions when officers arrived. With the help of paramedics, the woman regained consciousness, DeSpain said.
Officers retrieved the heroin from Wilson's wallet.
