Two people overdosed on laced marijuana in an apartment in Danielson and police said a 5-year-old child was alone with them for around 20 minutes when they became unconscious.
State troopers responded to Danielson for a possible overdose just after 7:30 p.m. Thursday and gave Narcan to 23-year-old Maya Alexandria Almond-Lawson, of Willimantic, and 23-year-old Elijah Markkamau Collins, of Plainfield.
Police said both of them responded to the Narcan and were transported to Day Kimball Hospital.
A 5-year-old child was also present and residents of the apartment said they left for around 20 minutes and came back to find Almond-Lawson and Collins unconscious and breathing erratically, so they called 911, according to state police.
Almond-Lawson and Collins admitted to smoking marijuana before losing consciousness, according to police, who believe the marijuana was laced, possibly with an opiate.
After Almond-Lawson and Collins were released from the hospital, police charged them with risk of injury to a minor. Bond for both was set at $2,500 and police contacted the state Department of Children and Families.
