A Dunnellon 2-year-old became unresponsive and required CPR after eating a marijuana-laced brownie this past Thursday night.
When Marion County sheriff’s deputies arrived at a home on SW 151st Place after receiving a 911 call for help, they spoke with 26-year-old Andrew Weaver Frazier, who told them that he had made a batch of brownies containing marijuana and left them unattended “for a minute” when he went into another room.
When he returned, he realized the toddler had eaten one of the brownies and “appeared fine for a while and was just giggling.” But the boy eventually fell asleep and became unresponsive, a sheriff’s office report states, adding that an EMS crew stabilized the child and transported him to a local hospital for observation.
After Frazier agreed to let deputies search his residence, they discovered a glass pan containing several marijuana brownies, along with a glass jar containing the drug, several pipes and a grinder, the report says.
Deputies determined the total weight of the marijuana found was more than 260 grams. Frazier was then arrested and transported to the Marion County Jail, where he was charged with domestic child neglect without great bodily harm, possession of marijuana more than 20 grams and possession of drug equipment. He was released on $5,000 bond Saturday at 8:22 p.m. and is scheduled to appear in a Marion County courtroom on Nov. 20 at 9 a.m. to answer to the charges.
