Police in central New Hampshire said Friday they saved the life of a baby

MEREDITH, N.H. (AP) — Police in central New Hampshire said Friday they saved the life of a baby who was overdosing on fentanyl. A 9-month-old put the drug in their mouth at a home on Thursday and the mother called police on the way to the hospital because “the baby wasn’t doing so great,” said Charlestown Police Chief Patrick Connors. Police from the nearby town of Claremont responded in less than a minute and said Sgt. Michael Puksta administered a lifesaving dose of Narcan. “We’re still investigating how a 9-month-old got their hands on fentanyl,” Connors said. “Criminal charges are definitely in the works.” He said the charges were likely to be against somebody who was in the home, although exactly who would be charged and the severity of the charges remained to be determined.
