PHOENIX (AP) – A woman is charged with child abuse after her baby allegedly overdosed on fentanyl and found a fractured skull, according to Phoenix police.
They said 18-year-old Priscilla Caldera was arrested Monday night. It was unclear Wednesday whether she still had an attorney for her case.
Police said they gave Narcan to the 9-month-old boy who is now in stable condition.
According to court records, the Phoenix police and fire department received an 911 call about a baby who was not breathing.
Arriving officials reported finding blue oval pills in the child’s crib.
Firefighters took the child to the hospital, where doctors found more blue pills in the boy’s mouth.
Caldera told officers that she picked up a friend who left a bag of blue pills in her car, police said.
Caldera told police she brought the baggy to the nursery and placed it on the changing table, but didn’t know how the pills got from the changing table to the cot.
