A North Carolina Highway saved a baby who wasn’t breathing after a possible narcotics exposure over the weekend.
Rowan County paramedics told WSOC if it wasn’t for Trooper Hunter Eagle, the baby girl might not be alive.
On Saturday afternoon, Trooper Hunter Eagle was on patrol in the area when a call came in for an infant who wasn’t breathing.
“As I pull into the driveway, there is a mom carrying out her 11-month-old in her arms, screaming saying, ‘please help my baby, she’s not breathing,’” Eagle said.
Trooper Eagle performed CPR. The baby started breathing again, and EMS took her to the hospital.
Inside the trailer where she and her parents were staying, Rowan County Sheriff’s deputies reportedly found drug paraphernalia like uncapped syringes and drug residue. They said the parents, Jamie Robertson and James Danielson, admitted to injecting fentanyl before falling asleep with their baby in the bed.
Investigators believe drugs contributed to the baby’s heart attack.
Both parents were arrested.
