Parents arrested after their 1-year-old tests positive for fentanyl and THC
The parents of a 1-year-old child have been arrested after the child tested positive for fentanyl and THC in California, authorities said. The incident occurred on April 22 when deputies from the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) responded to a report of a medical emergency where a 1-year-old child had reportedly choked and temporarily stopped breathing at a residence near Dutch Mine Road in Jamestown, California, according to a statement from the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office. The child was revived on scene, police said, before being taken to a local hospital for evaluation, and later released to their parents. 'The following day, Wednesday, April 23, just before 4:00 in the afternoon, TCSO received a report from Child Welfare Services stating that the child had been brought back to the hospital for a second time on Tuesday by their parents—22-year-old Rory Kerr and 32-year-old Denaun Davis—after becoming unresponsive,' authorities said in their statement regarding the case. 'During this visit, the child was administered CPR, successfully resuscitated, and later transferred to an out-of-area hospital for treatment related to Fentanyl poisoning after testing presumptively positive for Fentanyl and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).' TCSO Detectives 'immediately launched an investigation,' authorities said, working on it through the evening into the early morning hours the next day before issuing multiple warrants for the parents of the child. 'Detectives executed the search warrant and located numerous items of drug use paraphernalia containing narcotics residue, along with a used Narcan, inside the motorhome where the family lived,' police said. During their investigation, officials discovered evidence that one of the child's parents had administered Narcan during the medical emergency, police said. Davis and Kerr were arrested and taken to the Dambacher Detention Center, where they were booked on felony child abuse charges, including abuse likely to cause great bodily injury or death. The child involved in this case has since been placed in protective custody. 'We want to remind the public that while Narcan (naloxone) is a critical and often life-saving tool in reversing the effects of opioid overdoses, including those caused by Fentanyl, it is not a substitute for proper medical care,' TCSO said. 'Narcan is temporary in nature and can wear off while dangerous levels of narcotics remain in the body. If you or someone else has been exposed to a suspected overdose, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention—even if Narcan appears to have worked. Being honest and forthcoming with emergency responders and healthcare professionals about potential drug exposure is critical to receiving appropriate and timely treatment.' 'We want to thank our community partners including Child Welfare Services and Adventist Health Sonora for their assistance and clear lines of communication which were critical to life-saving measures and a successful investigation,' police said.
