BUTTE FALLS, Ore. – The Jackson County Sheriff’s office said a Butte Falls mom was arrested after her child overdosed on fentanyl.
30-year-old Desiree Maria Brown was charged with three counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment, four counts of reckless endangering, and two counts of second-degree child neglect.
The incident reportedly happened on September 15 at a home in the 800 block of Derby Road in Butte Falls.
According to JCSO, the toddler was given multiple doses of Narcan and taken to a Portland hospital.
After spending multiple days on a Narcan drip, the 19-month-old child remained stable and has since recovered.
JCSO said the district attorney’s office will prosecute the case.
