OAK HARBOR, Wash. - An Oak Harbor woman was arrested and charged in the death of her two-year-old child, who detectives believe died from exposure to drugs.
Oak Harbor police officers were called to reports of a toddler in distress at a home near NE Kettle St and NE Third Ave, at 8:57 p.m. on Sunday, May 24.
When they arrived, they found the child and began life-saving measures, eventually taking them to Whidbey Health for emergency treatment. Sadly, the child died at the hospital.
The child's mother was at the home when police arrived, and they launched a death investigation.
On Wednesday, investigators developed probable cause to arrest the 34-year-old mother for controlled substance homicide, first-degree manslaughter and reckless endangerment. She was booked into Island County Jail.
