The father of a Bullitt County baby who died with fentanyl poisoning was arrested, charged with manslaughter, wanton endangerment and two counts of trafficking a controlled substance.
Christopher Vanmeter was arrested Wednesday after police found his daughter, 1-year-old Kamrynn Vanmeter, unresponsive at a home on Beechwood Lane in Mt. Washington on April 6. The baby was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Mt. Washington Police Department investigators recovered methamphetamine and fentanyl on the scene.
It was determined in an autopsy that the cause of the baby’s death was acute fentanyl intoxication.
On Wednesday, a grand jury indicted Vanmeter. Hours later, he was arrested in Louisville.
Vanmeter is being held in Louisville Metro Corrections on a $500,000 bond.
