CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – Police in New Hampshire say a Florida man in labor demanded a friend inject her with heroin and methamphetamine before firefighters arrived and she gave birth in an ambulance.
Police in Concord arrested 29-year-old Felicia Farruggia this week, about six months after her son was born. He is in state custody.
Police also arrested 37-year-old Rhianna Frenette, of Belmont, accused of giving Farruggia the drugs. They’re charged with felony reckless conduct. Frenette also faces a misdemeanor count on the same offense.
Police say Frenette used an unsanitary syringe to try to inject Farruggia at least once before she was successful. After that, a roommate called 911. Shortly afterward, firefighters arrived and Farruggia gave birth while entering the ambulance.
Both were held on bail Wednesday. It was unclear if they had lawyers.
