A Nevada man was charged with several criminal offenses when his infant reportedly tested positive for multiple controlled substances and ended up in the pediatric intensive care unit.

According to reports from the authorities, early last week, a 9-month-old experienced a medical emergency and was rushed to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno. At this time, the specifics of why the infant needed immediate care were not made public, but it was reported that the hospital staff had to administer CPR to stabilize the baby. The situation was reported to the authorities, and deputies from the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office went to the medical center to investigate.

The medical professionals reported that during their treatment of the infant, they did blood tests, which allegedly showed positive results for methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates. The deputies wanted to talk to the baby’s parents, but the father, who was present earlier, had reportedly left the building before they arrived. They spoke to the infant’s mom, and when the man came back to the medical center a while later, he talked to detectives.
