Two parents in North Carolina are in custody after their infant child went into cardiac arrest and drugs were found in the home, according to authorities.
Deputies were called out to a home in Rowan County around 3 p.m. Saturday for an unconscious 11-month-old who was not breathing.
When officers arrived at the scene, they saw the baby’s mother, 31-year-old Jamie Robertson, running out of the camper while holding the unconscious baby.
Robertson reportedly told officers that all three of them had fallen asleep in the bed. When she woke up, the baby was gasping for air and struggling to breathe.
The infant was given CPR and Narcan and taken to a children’s hospital.
When investigators searched the camper, they said there were “very unsanitary” conditions, including various items of drug paraphernalia, drug residue and uncapped syringes.
Both parents later admitted to investigators that they both had injected fentanyl while in bed with the infant prior to falling asleep.
