Sixty-eight-year-old Clarence Perry and 36-year-old Angela Dozier are facing felony charges of endangering the welfare of a child resulting in death.
The probable cause statement says their two-year-old ingested cocaine and methadone and started to show signs of illness at Noon on April 2nd, but Dozier and Perry didn’t call 911 until after 8:00 p.m.
The child was pronounced dead at the hospital and toxicology results revealed the toddler’s system had amounts of cocaine and methadone that would be lethal to an adult.
