CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) - Authorities are searching for a father who is accused of exposing his 8-month-old son to the powerful opioid fentanyl in July, dropping off the sick infant at a St. Louis County hospital and then speeding off. The infant remains hospitalized almost three months later.
Twenty-three-year-old Portis Williams, of St. Louis, was charged Monday in a warrant with first-degree child endangerment and resisting arrest.
Police say the baby had to be revived with Narcan and suffered cardiac arrest and brain damage. Charges allege police attempted to stop Williams in connection with the investigation, but he drove around the officers.
