TOLEDO, Ohio — A 43-year-old Toledo man has been indicted on charges of child endangering after a 1-year-old boy was found unconscious after being exposed to heroin at their Meadowlark Avenue home.
Ryan Old was taken into custody on Oct. 29 after Toledo fire crews responded to the home and found the 1-year-old to be unresponsive.
First responders administered Narcan intravenously to the child and he regained consciousness, police reports say. The child was taken to Toledo Hospital for further observation.
Drugs wrapped in aluminum foil and drug paraphernalia were found at the home and Old was taken into custody after the substance field-tested positive.
According to court documents, Old admitted to having 2 grams of heroin/fentanyl.
On Nov. 6, he was indicted on two felony charges: endangering children, a second-degree felony, and possession of a controlled substance (heroin), a fifth-degree felony.
