Sacramento. Sarah Stephens has been charged with murder in the 2012 death of her infant son.
Stephens, 32, is going to face second-degree murder and felony child endangerment counts stemming from the drug-overdose death of her baby last September. Sacramento County Coroner initially reported the child's death to SIDS, toxicology results later revealed that the 7-month-old died of a drug overdose.
Citrus Heights police say the suspect "knowingly and without regard for the infant’s health, administered controlled substances to the infant, ultimately causing his death."
Officers told reporters that the drugs were prescription medication. Stephens has one older child, police told the newspaper.
Police arrested Stephens August 7, and booked into Sacramento County Jail.
