DOVER - A Rochester woman is facing second degree assault charges in the fentanyl overdose of an infant in July of last year.
Haleigh Newton, 30, of Lambert Court, is accused of "recklessly causing serious bodily injury to (the victim) causing (the victim) to overdose on the controlled drug fentany."
The incident occurred on July 29, 2022.
The Class B felony carries a three and a half to seven years in state prison.
The indictments were handed down on May 18 and released to the public last week.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt, rather that enough evidence has been presented to move forward to trial.
