VIDEO: Toddler survives fentanyl overdose after police give him Narcan
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A two-year-old was saved from a fentanyl overdose and new body camera footage shows the race to save him.
News 4 first reported on this story in May.
It was just after midnight on May 29 when Oklahoma City Police got a 911 call alerting first responders a toddler was in distress.
When officers got there, they quickly ran to the two-year-old. The toddler's mother, Olivia Wilson, was screaming as officers rushed to help.
Police asked Wilson if she had drugs in the house. On the body camera video, Wilson said, "No." She then claimed she had something, but it was all put away.
Wilson told officers her brother uses drugs and she wasn't sure if he dropped some and her son got into it.
Just minutes after officers got to the home, they worked fast to give the toddler Narcan.
After a few seconds, the video shows officers confirming that the toddler started to open his eyes.
Despite Wilson's claim of not having drugs in the home, officers end up handcuffing Wilson.
Investigators said they found fentanyl and meth inside the apartment.
However, once at the jail, police said they uncovered more drugs as Wilson passed through this body-scanning machine.
"They admitted that they had something hidden inside them. in this case, it showed up as an object in a place where it shouldn't be," said Mark Opgrande, the Communications Director at the OK County Jail.
According to a police report, detention officers discovered a metal container inside Wilson's body and the contents tested positive for fentanyl.
Police said the two-year-old did survive.
His mother was arrested back in May for child neglect and drug charges.
