These Two People Go To Court Today After Calling Uber To Get Narcan For 2-year-old that had overdosed instead of calling 911!
WGN reported the story:
"A Homer Glen couple bought more Narcan via Uber for their 2-year-old, who was going through a suspected deadly drug overdose at the time, instead of calling 911, court documents reveal.
First-degree murder charges were announced for Edward Weiher, 49, and his fiancé, Alexa B***n, 28, after they initially faced multiple neglect charges last November.
Police in Will County were called to the home of Weiher and B***n, located in the 2200 block of West Thorn Apple Drive, just after 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 6, 2024, for reports of an unresponsive child and a possible carbon monoxide leak.
They found Weiher, who owns the home, performing chest compressions on two-year-old Trinity B***n-Weiher on an ottoman in the living room when they arrived. B***n and her six-year-old daughter were also inside the home.
Police observed the large residence trashed with various items covering the floor, court documents reveal.
The entire floor was covered with garbage, food, urine and f***s, authorities allege.
Police also observed a white substance, suspected to be co***ne and he**in, spread throughout the countertops and tables. Additionally, several pieces of burnt tin foil were found on the ground, believed to be from doing he**in.
Suspected he**in was also found on a mattress in the living room where Trinity and the rest of the family slept that night, according to authorities.
When police initially arrived, Weiher claimed his handheld meter registered a reading of natural carbon monoxide at 6,000 parts per million, prompting him to turn off the boiler and open the windows.
Levels that high would cause residents to be unconscious and possibly die within 20 minutes, according to multiple studies.
A utility company was called to the scene as police continued to investigate.
The company said that service was not working from Sept. 30 through Nov. 2 due to non-payment, but it was recently restored. A small gas leak was found in the basement, but it was not determined to be a lethal amount.
B***n was interviewed by detectives first at the scene.
She admitted to police that she and Weiher use he**in on a regular basis after initially claiming Trinity stopped breathing due to suspected high levels of carbon monoxide.
B***n said she wanted to call 911 after the couple failed to correctly administer a dose of Narcan to Trinity. Narcan is a drug that typically reverses the effects of an opioid overdose as it’s happening.
She claimed Weiher said they should not call 911, so they ordered more Narcan through Uber, according to court documents.
It did not work and Trinity stopped breathing, documents state. 911 was then called, which prompted the aforementioned police response.
rinity was transported to the hospital by authorities, where she died.
Weiher said the same story as B***n after initially claiming Trinity was unconscious due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Police recovered approximately nine grams of suspected he**in in various locations throughout the home that were allegedly in “reaching distance” of Trinity. A small bag of 21 pills, commonly known as Xanax, were also recovered.
B***n’s six-year-old daughter was taken into the custody of DCFS. Her system tested positive for fentanyl and co***ne, according to police."
