BETHEL, Ohio — A couple has been arrested after their 2-year-old overdosed on cocaine and marijuana Sunday, the Bethel Police Department said.
Travis Lelesch, 23, and 23-year-old Ashley Lelesch, the child's parents, both face felony and misdemeanor child endangerment charges following a police investigation.
Police said someone called 911 on Sunday saying "the couple's 2-year-old son was unresponsive."
According to court documents, a deputy responded to University Lane. Police said this was a family member's apartment that Ashley had brought the child to. Upon arrival, Ashley told the deputy that she thought the child drank mold cleaner when they were home in the 100 block of South Union Street.
Ashley said the boy seemed ill before they left and became more sick and started vomiting as they went to University Lane.
When they arrived at University Lane, Ashley said the child threw up three more times before the police were called, according to the documents.
The child's condition got worse on the scene and he was flown to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center "after becoming unresponsive," according to court documents.
Police said the 2-year-old overdosed and that "high levels of marijuana and cocaine" were found in his system. Doctors were able to save him.
According to the documents, the couple admitted that before the child became ill, they used cocaine and marijuana. They said the boy could've had contact with the drugs since they did not clean up the area where they were used.
The couple is in custody at the Clermont County Jail. Bond was set at $150,000 each.
The 2-year-old remains in the hospital and a safety plan has been established, according to the documents.
The couple is set to appear in court again on June 7.
