NEW: Baby tests positive for fentanyl after mom's overdose at El Cajon motel
EL CAJON, Calif. — The El Cajon Police Department says a 7-week-old baby tested positive for fentanyl after their mother overdosed at a motel Friday morning.
According to the press release, ECPD officers were called to the Relax Inn & Suites, located at 1220 W. Main St., to help the Heartland Fire Department respond to a drug overdose. "When police and fire personnel arrived, the suspect was conscious and declined any additional medical treatment," ECPD's release says."The child was taken into protective custody, and transported to Rady's Children's Hospital where a drug screen tested positive for fentanyl."ECPD's press release also says motel staff confirmed to its officers the room was paid for via the county's emergency housing program.
“We know that people who are unhoused are much more likely to die of an overdose. Because her father was able to locate his daughter quickly in her living space, he was able to save her life," the statement from the county says."This is exactly why housing for those with behavioral health conditions is so important."
