Law enforcement in Vermont is on the lookout for a mother who they say was high on drugs when her infant daughter drowned in the bathtub.

Briana Arnold, 34, stands accused of involuntary manslaughter, cruelty to a child with death resulting and possession of narcotics, according to warrants issued for her arrest.

On the day in question, a 911 call was made about a drowning child, police said. In the apartment unit, responding officers found Arnold performing CPR on her 3-month-old daughter. Paramedics took over those lifesaving measures as the little girl was rushed to a nearby hospital. There, the child eventually succumbed to her injuries.

After the child's death, the case was referred to CUSI and investigators quickly executed a search warrant on the residence, according to the Vermont Daily Chronicle. That search allegedly turned up an open container in the stove in the kitchen, which was later determined to be fentanyl.

Investigators also managed to obtain a sample of the defendant's blood in order to perform a toxicology test. That test turned up the presence of benzoylecgonine, fentanyl, norfentanyl and methadone, police say.

After an autopsy, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined the infant, Sapphira Tanita Perez Sanchez, died by drowning.
