Mother faces charges after her baby died of a possible fentanyl overdose
LA TimesPhotographs of people who died due to drugs are on display during the Second Annual Family Summit on Fentanyl at Drug Enforcement Administration headquarters in Washington in 2023. A Santa Cruz County mother is facing criminal neglect charges after her 18-month-old baby died of a possible fentanyl overdose. Woll was later booked into the Santa Cruz County Jail on two charges of felony child endangerment, one with enhancement for great bodily injury to a child younger than 5 years old, plus an additional misdemeanor for evidence destruction, the Mercury News reported. Robert Caposio said that Woll had taken her child “to a known drug area and a residence therein.” Woll’s alleged neglect of her child “directly led to her death,” the Mercury News reported. The district attorney office’s investigation is ongoing and Woll’s initial arraignment at the Santa Cruz County Superior Court was delayed until Aug. 7.
