Police determined the suspected overdose likely occurred at Melvin’s residence in the 4600 block of Midway.
Investigators told News Center 7’s Mike Campbell they found suspected fentanyl in the kitchen area and the substance was on the feet and legs of the children.
Housing inspectors declared the apartment uninhabitable and a hazardous materials team will have to respond to clean up the residence, police said.
Melvin remained in the Montgomery County Jail Friday. Police are pursuing charges of child endangering and drug possession.
