A 35-year-old Mount Washington man appeared in court on Monday after he was indicted on manslaughter charges following his 1-year-old’s fatal overdose.
Christopher Vanmeter was charged with one count of manslaughter, two counts of trafficking a controlled substance, and two counts of wanton endangerment after his daughter Kamrynn died of fentanyl positioning in April.
On Monday, the judge decided to keep Vanmeter’s bond set at $500,000 cash.
On April 6, Mt. Washington Police, Fire and EMS were called to respond to a report of an unresponsive child.
First responders found the child inside a home with Vanmeter and several other people on Beachwood Lane in Mt. Washington.
Kamrynn was rushed to the hospital and was pronounced dead. A toxicology report found her death was caused by fentanyl poisoning.
Detectives believe Kamrynn ingested some drugs found in the home.
The Bullitt County Commonwealth’s Attorney returned an indictment last week for the arrest of Vanmeter.
He was taken into custody and is currently being held at the Bullitt County Detention Center.
