FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A Fort Wayne woman has been charged in connection to the 2021 death of her one-year-old daughter who died of a fentanyl overdose.
Angela M. Brown, 41, was arrested last week and has since been charged with two counts of neglect of a dependent according to the Journal Gazette.

Savannah Brown was found unresponsive on Oct. 14 last year at her home in the 8300 block of Newfield Drive. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died.
Last month, the Allen County Coroner’s Office ruled her death a homicide due to a fentanyl overdose.
Brown told police that she gave her daughter Amoxicillin for hand, foot and mouth disease and Tylenol for congestion and a fever. The medications had been prescribed by a doctor according to a probable cause affidavit.
Brown tested positive for fentanyl on the same day her daughter died. Also, a 30-year-old man was found dead in her garage on Aug. 20, with the cause of death later determined to be due to a fentanyl overdose.
Brown was released on a $35,000 bond and has a court hearing set for Aug. 29.

Dopey King Xo the Idiot of Brandonville and Chicom fentanyl importation czar on the southern border should be charged as an accessory before the fact! The pretend president is culpable when tons of the stuff come across our border.
COVID came from china and so does Fentanyl! Our country is under biological, and chemical attack from China.
