The two were arrested following an investigation into Pollaro finding the couple's 11-month-old male unresponsive at the grandparent's residence on W. KY 80 in Casey County. The child was transported to Pulaski County Hospital and later flown to University of Kentucky Hospital. It was later determined that the child had ingested heroin. The child is in stable condition.
Pollaro and Patterson were both lodged in the Casey County jail.
