Doctors saved the life of a 2-year-old boy after he overdosed on the drug methadone over the weekend.
The child’s mother is under arrest and charged with leaving the drug where the toddler was able to get it and swallow it.
Jacquelyn Donnelly was charged with felony child neglect because deputies said she left it in a location where a 2-year-old could get it.
After the boy swallowed the drug he turned blue, and his eyes rolled toward the back of his head.
“In this case, we were lucky the child was able to be revived, and was actually given Narcan at the hospital from my understanding, and will be OK,” spokesman Tod Goodyear said.
