WESTFIELD — A city woman is facing as much as five years in prison after her infant daughter apparently ingested some of the narcotics police later found in several places in her bedroom.
According to city police, officers responded to a call on March 29 from a Fowler Avenue address about an unresponsive infant who was not breathing. Detective Christopher Coach reports in a court document that the officers found “the infant was blue, and not breathing upon their arrival.”
Family members had started CPR and the officers immediately began rescue breathing. They were relieved by Westfield Fire Department EMTs, who took over care of the baby.
