Toddler put on Narcan drip to keep her alive after fentanyl overdose; parents convicted

HILLSBORO, Ore. (KPTV/Gray News) - Parents were convicted of second-degree assault after their toddler had to be put on a Narcan drip to keep her alive after overdosing on fentanyl.

In March 2023, Megan Elizabeth Meek and her fiancé, Bret Mitchell Hollmann, started their day by smoking fentanyl pills. Their 2-year-old daughter was with them, according to court documents.

Later that day, they planned to take the child to a babysitter so they could go shopping. They stopped at a business on their way and Meek went inside to make a purchase. When she returned to the car, she put her bag, which contained multiple fentanyl pills and other drug paraphernalia, in the backseat within reach of the toddler. The child got into the pills and swallowed several of them.

A short time later, Meek and Hollmann noticed the child was overdosing.

Beaverton Police arrived on the scene, the child was unconscious, not breathing and had no detectable pulse. The couple told officers that the child needed to have her stomach pumped because she had swallowed the fentanyl pills.

Officers istered two doses of Narcan and saved the child’s life, but she overdosed again once she reached the hospital due to the amount of fentanyl in her system, according to the Washington County District Attorney’s Office. Hospital staff had to put the toddler on a Narcan drip for a full day to keep her alive.

Hollmann itted to officers that he bought the fentanyl pills. He was caught smoking more fentanyl at the hospital while his daughter was undergoing treatment, and he was kicked out of the building by staff.

He was sentenced to four years in prison after he pleaded guilty to assault in the third degree and unlawful possession of a schedule II controlled substance, substantial quantities.

Meek is set to be sentenced on Aug. 20.
