RawNews1st – The Oklahoma Attorney General has charged an OKC couple after their 6 year old son child died from a Fentanyl overdose.
Harold Belton and Grashaunda Brooks are each charged with second-degree murder.
Investigators say Belton took the boy to the ER on October 4th, 2021, around 5:45 a.m.
The medical staff notes say the boy did not have a pulse and they believe he’d been dead more an an hour when he was admitted.
The AG’s office says Belton told OCPD detectives, the boy said he didn’t feel well the night before.
They say Belton told detectives he got in bed with the boy, dozed off, and woke up around 2-3:00 a.m. because he felt something wet on his shoulder and the boy was unresponsive, had mucus coming out of his nose and mouth and was limp.
A medical examiner said the probable cause of death was toxic effects of fentanyl after finding 27 ng/mL of fentanyl in the boy’s blood.
Detectives served a search warrant at the home and say they found three blue tablets in a plastic pill bottle in the mother’s name, hidden inside of a barbecue grill.
The tablets tested positive for fentanyl, even though they were made to look like prescription oxycodone 30mg tablets.
DEA agents determined Brooks had been oxycodone tablets but did not have a prescription for fentanyl.
Attorney General John O’Connor said, “Illegal fentanyl is affecting not only addicts, but the young and innocent as well.
Simply put, these counterfeit pills kill people and destroy families.”
