\nMadisonville Police Department officials say a woman is in jail after her child tested positive for fentanyl.<\/p>\n
According to a police report, officers responded to a medical emergency Friday, April 10 involving a 3-year-old who was found to be lethargic with shallow breathing.<\/p>\n
Officials say the child was transported to the Baptist Health ER and was later intubated and life-flighted to a children\u2019s hospital.<\/p>\n
Police say they later discovered that the child tested positive for fentanyl.<\/p>\n
During the investigation, the child\u2019s mother, later identified as Demontasia Thompson, told investigators she had been the only person with the child on this date.<\/p>\n
