A 40-year-old Northern California woman was sentenced on Sept. 12 to 10 years in state prison for the fentanyl overdose death of her infant boy, authorities said.
Christy Ann Scarbrough of Chico, a city 85 miles north of Sacramento, received the maximum sentence under California law from Judge Kristen Lucena after pleading no contest to causing the death of her son on his first birthday, according to a press release from Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey.
