Police say first responders were called to a home on Northeast Kettle Street for a child in distress.

The 2-year-old was taken to Whidbey Health in Coupeville for emergency care, where he later died.

Autopsy results showed no signs of trauma, but a preliminary urinalysis test showed the presence of cocaine and fentanyl, an Oak Harbor Police Department probable cause document said.

While officers were collecting evidence where the mother lived with her children, they found the home in disarray, with drug-related items and trash amid clothes and toys, court documents said.

A police report said there was a putrid odor and old dishes and bottles containing rotten liquids.

The mother admitted to using drugs daily and possessing fentanyl and drug paraphernalia, according to police.

34-year-old Jessica Kido was arrested on Wednesday for investigation of controlled substance homicide, first-degree manslaughter, and reckless endangerment.

A review of criminal records showed she has a “significant criminal history involving felony fraud offenses, identity theft, drug-related crimes and repeated law enforcement contacts across multiple states,” probable cause documents said.

She also has felony convictions in other states, and a history of disappearing for long periods, her husband told police.

According to a report by Oak Harbor Police Detective Shantel Ricci, Kido called 911 shortly before 9 p.m. to report that the toddler had blood coming from his mouth and nose and was having trouble speaking and crying. Paramedics transported the child to WhidbeyHealth Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Kido told police she had put the child down for a nap several hours earlier and discovered blood on him when she checked on him later, the report states. She also reportedly told officers the child had behavioral issues that caused him to hit his head during tantrums.

A 4-year-old child who was also in the apartment was unharmed and later taken into protective custody by the Department of Children, Youth and Families.

Kido told police her husband was deployed with the Navy and that she had been alone with the children that day.

According to the report, Kido limited officers’ access to the apartment, allowing them only into the boy’s bedroom.

An autopsy showed no outward signs of trauma, according to the report. A preliminary urinalysis test later returned positive results for cocaine and fentanyl, the report states.

Police later served a search warrant at the residence. Investigators found a small box containing suspected fentanyl, more than $6,000 in cash, a digital scale and a notebook appearing to document drug sales, the detective wrote. Officers also located a safe containing approximately 30 firearms in the garage.

The detective’s report does not identify a specific mechanism by which the child may have been exposed to fentanyl or cocaine.

Investigators found bins of children’s clothing near suspected fentanyl, according to the report. A garbage bag outside the children’s room allegedly contained foil with burnt residue. In the master bedroom, officers found needles, a pipe and other drug paraphernalia with burnt residue inside a zippered bag stored in a container on the floor, the report states.
