A two-year-old is deceased, and his parents are in jail today after officers responded to their residence in what was thought to be a medical assistance call and turned out to be a suspected fatal child fentanyl poisoning.
Around 11:00 pm on the 21st of January, officers were dispatched to the 500 block of Yorkshire Lane for an unresponsive individual. When the officers arrived, it was found that two-year old, Jasten Many Ribs, was found unresponsive. Jasten’s parents, Jasmine Charging, 29, Bismarck and Jordan Many Ribs, 28, Bismarck were at the residence and Jasmine was trying to revive Jasten. Jasten was ultimately taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
An autopsy was ordered for Jasten at the medical examiner’s office today and a preliminary urine test was conducted showing Jasten’s urine was positive for fentanyl. Additionally, detectives found numerous items of drugs and paraphernalia in the residence, to include fentanyl, methamphetamine, and marijuana.
Jasmine and Jordan are currently being held at Burleigh Morton Detention Center on the charges of Endangerment of a Child-Contact Results in the Death of a Child, Child Neglect, Possession of Controlled Substances, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
