RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. — A High Point woman has been arrested and charged in connection with a fentanyl-induced overdose involving a toddler last year, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office.
Brittney Danielle Hohn, 32, of Rockingham Road, was arrested on June 9 during a traffic stop. She faces a felony charge of negligent child abuse causing serious physical injury, stemming from a September 2023 incident.
Authorities allege that a child in her care overdosed on fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid. Details surrounding the circumstances of the overdose have not been released publicly, but an arrest warrant indicates that the exposure led to a medical emergency.
The investigation led to Hohn’s arrest nearly nine months later. She remains in custody, and further details are expected as the case proceeds through the court system.
