Butte County parents arrested after infant tests positive for fentanyl
It happened over the weekend in the small community of Durham. Butte County's sheriff's office said deputies responded Saturday afternoon to a home on Jones Avenue after receiving a report of an unresponsive baby.
Personnel from Cal Fire also responded and performed CPR and other life-saving measures on the baby. The baby was first taken to a local hospital before being transferred to an out-of-area hospital for further treatment.
After the toxicology screen came in, the sheriff's office obtained a search warrant for the family's home, where the baby's father, 39-year-old Logan Bandy, was arrested. The child's mother, Tabitha Porter, 31, was also later arrested.
Deputies searching the home found drug paraphernalia and narcotics, the sheriff's office said. Evidence found during the following investigation "gave [investigators] cause to believe the infant had been exposed to drug paraphernalia and fentanyl," the sheriff's office added.
Bandy and Porter both face charges of felony child endangerment, while Bandy faces an additional charge of felony possession of a controlled substance with prior convictions, authorities said.
Durham is a community about 18 miles northwest of Oroville and about 85 miles north of Sacramento.

16 in custody after immigration raid at LA Home Depot, DHS says
Department of Homeland Security officials took 16 individuals into custody on Wednesday morning during immigration raids at a Los Angeles Home Depot, territory that federal authorities say is in the grip of the notorious MS-13 gang. The operation happened around 7 a.m. in the MacArthur Park area of Los Angeles. As DHS officials burst onto the scene from the back of Penske trucks, migrants began scattering from the parking lot, according to video from the scene. DHS told Fox News that the violent MS-13 gang has a chokehold on the area, which is why the highly optic immigration raid was carried out at the location. No further details about the 16 detained individuals were immediately provided. The raid happened near the site of immigration raids last month that saw Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass come to the scene to ask federal agents to leave. "They need to leave, and they need to leave right now. They need to leave because this is unacceptable!" Bass, who has been a vocal opponent of immigration raids in the city, said at the time. Protesters also showed up in the area last month, with reports of a tire on a federal vehicle being slashed and objects thrown at vehicles. In June, protesters rioted and clashed with authorities for several days amid outrage over immigration raids in the region. President Donald Trump federalized the National Guard and ordered the deployment of Marines to the city, leading to heavy criticism from local and state officials, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
