The parents of an Indiana infant are facing criminal charges after their 11-month-old son died from drug intoxication last month.
Arrest warrants were issued for 27-year-old Kaytlen Sha Dossett and 30-year-old Taylor Mitchell Fischer on October 6 after toxicology results showed that their baby died with multiple drugs in his system including fentanyl.
Dossett was arrested on Monday by Evansville authorities while a manhunt continues for Fischer. They face charges of neglect causing death and drug possession.
Late on September 11, the EPD officers responded to the couple's home on North Spring Street after Dossett called to report that her baby was unresponsive and his lips were blue. The child was pronounced dead at a hospital.
At the scene, officers found the baby, two young siblings, and the parents. There was an overwhelming “odor of marijuana” and narcotics paraphernalia “in plain sight.”
A search of the house revealed several drugs including mushrooms, marijuana, and methamphetamine.
Toxicology results showed that the deceased baby had trace amounts of fentanyl, xylazine – aka Tranq – and fentanyl precursor 4-ANPP.
Dossett allegedly told officers that her son might have “gotten ahold of something” from the floor adding that it wasn’t hers.
