A Colorado Springs woman is now facing federal charges in connection with the fatal overdose of her 16-year-old son, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.
Maria Davis-Conchie, also known as “CeCe,” was charged with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl – resulting in death, by the U.S. District Court of Colorado Tuesday. Two other people, Douglas Floyd and Marlene McGuire, are also facing federal charges for the possession and distribution of drugs that led to the teen’s death.
They also told police the teen started using drugs with his mother “some time ago” and said the boy’s mother would provide her son and one of her friends with Xanax. In cell phone conversations between the teen and his mother, investigators learned the two also shared marijuana together. The boy was discovered unresponsive at his home on New Year’s Eve and was declared dead at the scene. Inside his room, Colorado Springs police officers found a small plastic baggie containing two blue pills, which were later tested and confirmed to contain para-fluourofentanyl, a Schedule I controlled substance. One of the two pills also had traces of fentanyl, acetaminophen, lidocaine and xylazine, documents show.
She made her first court appearance on March 3 where one of the five charges was dropped, and another was downgraded from a Level 1 to a Level 2 felony, according to our ABC affiliate in Colorado Springs, KOAA-TV.
