Scatchard, a registered sex offender with prior convictions for drugging and sexual assault, told officers that Faiers had taken up to 10 sleeping tablets and was found unconscious on his lounge floor. When uniformed officers from Avon and Somerset arrived, their suspicions grew due to Scatchard’s known criminal history and his uneasy behavior.
