Inset: Jacquelyn Powers (Facebook). Background: Powers being arrested in connection to her daughter’s fentanyl overdose (KTVI).
A 35-year-old woman in Missouri has been arrested for allegedly giving a 14-year-old girl a lethal dose of fentanyl to help her deal with a toothache, leading to the teen girl suffering a fatal overdose. Jacquelyn R. Powers was taken into custody last week and charged with one count of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child resulting in death, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime show.
While authorities did not clarify the nature of the relationship between Powers and the victim, identified in the filings as “VT,” several news outlets have reported that Powers was the child’s mother.
According to a criminal complaint filed in St. Louis County Circuit Court, prosecutors allege that Powers last month, “knowingly acted in a manner that created a substantial risk to the life” of the victim by “giving her a pill that contained fentanyl, causing her death.”
