Robert Mauro, 39, and a 35-year-old man from Lake Grove, who was not identified, were both indicted by the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
Tuesday, April 30, 2024 12:06AMTwo men from Long Island were indicted Monday in connection to the near-fatal fentanyl overdose of an infant back in January.
Officers were called to the 35-year-old man's Colmar Avenue home back on Jan. 13 following reports of an unresponsive infant. When they arrived, police found an 11-month-old boy who described as having turned blue and having trouble breathing. "It is heartbreaking to see a defenseless and innocent child become yet another casualty of a deadly illegal drug. What is more outrageous is that the child's father is alleged to have placed his own son in close proximity to such poison," said District Attorney Raymond Tierney.
An investigation showed the woman, who died on Jan. 29, allegedly purchased the fentanyl from Mauro days earlier based on a review of her phone data. Mauro's phone also allegedly showed that he communicated with the woman on the day that she overdosed.
