The husband of the owner of a Bronx day care, where a 1-year-old died of suspected fentanyl poisoning, has been arrested and faces federal charges along with three others. The death of the child has highlighted the fentanyl crisis in New York City, prompting Mayor Eric Adams to announce a fentanyl summit. The husband was seen on surveillance video fleeing the day care before first responders arrived. It has also been revealed that the owner pulled her own child out of the day care last year due to concerns of fentanyl exposure. The husband was arrested in Mexico but was expelled and detained in California. He is charged with conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death and faces life in prison.
