A Morgan City woman is behind bars after a two-year-old was hospitalized after consuming THC gummies.

Officers with the Morgan City Police Department responded to the area of Apple Street at approximately 2:05 a.m. regarding an overdose. Officers arrived and medical personnel were already on the scene.

According to reports, Rosizena Moore had gone to bed earlier in the night. In the early morning hours, the victim, two years of age, awoke and was able to gain access to multiple THC gummies and allegedly ingested them. The child began to suffer from a medical episode when they alerted Moore.

Officers said Moore delayed contacting law enforcement for help in an attempt to hide evidence for up to two hours. After searching the residence, officers found suspected marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and additional THC products.

The two-year-old was transported to an area medical facility and is listed in stable condition. Moore was transported to the Morgan City Jail where she was booked, and now awaits court proceedings. It was found she held active warrants for her arrest through the Thibodeaux Police Department for traffic offenses.
