A Salisbury, Maryland man was sentenced earlier this month to five years of incarceration after a Worcester County jury found him guilty of reckless endangerment and neglect of a minor.
State’s Attorney Kris Heiser said in a press release that the charges stemmed from an incident on July 3, 2021, when Pocomoke City, Maryland first responders responded to reports of a 15-month-old child having difficulty breathing.

As EMS crews transported the child, one of the responders suspected the child was suffering from an accidental drug overdose, the press release noted. The crew member administered Narcan to the child, which caused the child to regain consciousness.
A medical exam was conducted on the child at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional Hospital in Salisbury, which showed the child had heroin and alcohol in his system.
