Authorities say the suspects pulled their 2-year-old son from the day care after he exhibited signs of fentanyl exposure, but kept it open for other children.
Prosecutors say the 38-year-old suspect was being tracked by law enforcement as fled from the Bronx, to Texas, to Mexico.Prosecutors say the NYPD and DEA agents were closely tracking 38-year-old Felix Herrera Garcia from the moments he fled his wife's day care in the Bronx on Sept. 15.
Herrera Garcia was known to law enforcement since last October, when he called 911 to report a 42-year-old man, believed to be his brother, unconscious on a bedroom floor with pills. The man later died from an apparent overdose. She never reported the suspected exposure to police and did not allow the boy to return to the facility, but kept the day care open for other children -- one of the many factors that contributed to the level of charges brought against her, officials said.Authorities also announced Thursday that they seized over 40 pounds of fentanyl from a suspected drug mill six blocks away from the day care.
