An unresponsive woman, Mandy McGowen was caught on
camera on the ground suffering from an overdose in a store. In the scary
footage, the woman's 2-year-old daughter tried to pull her mother's arm and
wailed.
Lawrence Police Chief James Fitzpatrick told Fox 25: 'It's very disturbing to see someone obviously in the matter of addiction where it overtakes someone where they're not able to take care of their child, leaves their child vulnerable.'
According to the TV station, the mother may have
overdosed on either oral heroin or a narcotic like fentanyl.
She needed two Narcan doses so she could be revived
and her bag was revealed to contain straws and baggies with drug residue, the
report said.
She's going to be charged with child endangerment and her daughter's in custody with the Department of Children and Families, according to Fox 25.
A police report, the newspaper reported, says McGowen
said she didn't overdose and had fallen asleep.
