On Wednesday afternoon, Akron Police Officers responded to a call of a woman overdosing at a gas station on Mogadore Road about noon, according to the report. When they arrived, they found the woman passed out in the front passenger seat of a Buick and an 11 month old baby boy in the back seat.
Paramedics responded to the scene, reviving the woman with narcan, and then transporting her to Akron City.
While police were still there, the child's father, 29-year-old Andrew C. Carter of Mogadore, was arrested when he returned to the car. He's been booked into the Summit County Jail on felony child endangering charges. The baby, meanwhile, is in the custody of Child Services.
The woman later told police they'd bought Fentanyl along Manchester Road.

Last week there was hope when Geronimo, the pit bull terrier who had been at the Humane Society of Summit County Shelter for more than eleven hundred days, was adopted!
Unfortunately, and at no fault of the adopting family, Geronimo's forever home didn't last, and now he's back to the unforutnately familiar confines of the county.
Now, the Humane Society is making a plea for Geronimo to find his for real forever home, with a recent Facebook post detailing his needs (See below).
