Perry, NY – Chief Michael J. Grover reports the arrest of Jamie Murphy, 47, and Curtis Harkins, 49, both of Perry, NY.
On February 14th, 2026 at approximately 10:30PM, the Perry Police Department responded to the 165 Lake Street Apartment Complex for reports of several people carrying what appeared to be an unconscious person into an apartment before leaving.
The caller was alerted to the activity through their doorbell video security system, which showed Murphy and Harkins placing what appeared to be an incapacitated individual into the apartment before abruptly leaving.
Upon police arrival, the individual was found unresponsive, with shallow breaths and a weak pulse. Police administered two doses of Narcan after suspecting a heroin overdose, and the individual was transported to the Wyoming County Community Hospital for treatment.
Following a several day investigation, Murphy and Harkins were both arrested on charges of Reckless Endangerment 2nd degree for failing to render proper aid by contacting 911. They are both set to appear in Perry Village Court on March 10th, 2026, at 1PM and 3:30PM respectively.
