A Hillsboro man who called 911 to ask if it was “OK to give a baby Narcan” as his 2-year-old daughter was overdosing on fentanyl that he and the girl’s mother had acquired was sentenced to four years in prison Thursday.
Bret Mitchell Hollmann, 31, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to third-degree assault and unlawful possession of a controlled substance for seriously injuring the girl, who survived after first responders administered two adult-sized doses of naloxone — the generic name for Narcan — and workers at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center gave her a full-day Narcan intravenous drip.
Senior Judge Gregory Silver dismissed a charge of first-degree criminal mistreatment as part of the plea agreement in Washington County Circuit Court.
The girl’s mother, 28-year-old Megan Elizabeth Meek, also is charged with first-degree criminal mistreatment, as well as second-degree assault. Second-degree assault is a Measure 11 crime that upon conviction calls for a minimum of nearly six years in prison. Meek has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled for trial in April.
