Sept. 26 (UPI) -- A third person has been arrested and charged with federal drug offenses in connection to a daycare operated out of a Bronx apartment where earlier this month four children under the age of three suffered fentanyl overdoses, including a 1-year-old boy who died.
Renny Antonio Parra Paredes, 38, of the Bronx, New York, was arraigned Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ona Wang on one count of conspiring to distribute narcotics resulting in death, which carries a sentence between 20 years to life in prison.
Prosecutors accuse Paredes of playing of a fundamental role in the narcotics operation that was operated from the Divino Niño daycare center where three children were found unresponsive on Sept. 15 and were rushed to the hospital, including the child who died.
