A Northern California couple is Grayson Prestonfacing drug and child endangerment charges after prosecutors said authorities found a backpack with nearly 25,000 fentanyl pills inside it underneath their child’s crib.
Octavian Moreno, 27, and Krystal Delgado, 23, are charged with three counts of possessing narcotics for sale, one count of child endangerment, and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm, according to release from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.
