Man sentenced to 4 years after his toddler overdosed on fentanyl pills

PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — A man was sentenced to four years in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to third-degree assault and unlawful possession of substantial quantities of drugs.

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office said Bret Mitchell Hollmann and his fiancé, Megan Elizabeth Meek, had allegedly smoked fentanyl pills Hollmann purchased on March 13, 2023. Later that day, the couple’s two-year-old daughter had swallowed several fentanyl pills and other paraphernalia that were left in Meek’s bag, within reaching distance of the child.
