Mother Sentenced to Probation in Toddler Fentanyl Overdose Case

(Hillsboro, OR) -- A Washington County judge sentenced Megan Elizabeth Meek to five years of probation after her toddler nearly died from ingesting fentanyl. Prosecutors pushed for a nearly six-year prison term under Measure 11, but the judge ruled a lighter sentence was appropriate. Meek and her fiancé smoked fentanyl at home in 2023 before their 2-year-old accessed pills in the backseat of a car and overdosed. The child was revived after multiple doses of Narcan, while the fiancé later pleaded guilty and received a four-year prison term.
