Lawrence General Hospital security find man with heroin
LAWRENCE MA March 27 2018 — A Seabrook man was found by a hospital security officer sitting in his car with a loaded syringe of heroin on his lap just minutes after bringing his girlfriend to Lawrence General Hospital “because she was overdosing” Saturday night, according to police.
Nico Eisner, 27, also had two children in the car with him; a six-week-old and a 9-year-old, police said.
Eisner, of 118 Cimmaron Drive in Seabrook, was arrested and charged with illegal possession of heroin.
He didn’t show up for his arraignment Monday afternoon in Lawrence District Court and a warrant, which specified he could not be bailed, was issued for his arrest.
Just after 9 p.m. Saturday, two Lawrence police officers were flagged down by an LGH security employee “who informed me that there was a disturbance at the front entrance of the hospital,” according to a report by officer Adam Goujon.
Eisner, already handcuffed, was standing at the hospital entrance with security officer Greg Levesque, Goujon wrote.
They were all standing next to a vehicle with New Hampshire plates. The front driver’s side door was open and two children were in the back seat, according to the police report.
Forty-five minutes prior, Eisner had brought his 30-year-old live-in girlfriend to the hospital “because he was overdosing.”
While the woman was being treated, Eisner and the kids were initially waiting in a hospital “quiet room.”
However, Levesque checked the woman’s car and “observed an unused hypodermic needle” on the front seat, Goujon wrote.
Levesque went to ask Eisner about the needle but he had left the quiet room. He went back to the car and “found Eisner in the front seat with a hypodermic needle loaded with heroin in his lap.”
“The children were in the back seat,” Goujon wrote in the report.
Goujon also inspected the needle and said he believed, from his training and experience, it was “full of heroin,” he wrote.
Eisner then told Goujon belonged to his girlfriend — not him.
The children were then brought inside the hospital and officer Angel Mejia waited with them until child protective service workers from New Hampshire were notified and arrived, according to police.
Eisner was apparently at Lawrence District Court sometime Monday. However, when his case was called around 2:30 p.m., he was not present in the courtroom.
