ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A Glen Burnie mother is sentenced to a decade behind bars for the death of her two-year-old daughter, Nevaeh.
The toddler died August 17 of last year. Fentanyl intoxication was determined to be the cause.
Tiffany Lynee Carr, who admitted to drug addiction, confessed to smoking crack cocaine the day her child died.
She and Nevaeh reportedly took a nap on the couch that afternoon.
Upon waking up in the evening, Carr noticed Nevaeh was unresponsive.

Carr administered Narcan, which had no effect on Nevaeh.
Investigators recovered a glass smoking pipe and several capsules containing Fentanyl inside Carr's home.
Prosecutors said they and Carr's defense team agreed on the sentence.
Upon release, Carr will undergo substance abuse treatment while serving five-years of supervised probation.
Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess issued this statement in response to the ruling.
"Sadly, not a single person was in the courtroom today to speak on behalf of this child because there was no one else she could count on other than her mother. The actions of this Defendant were reckless, inexcusable, and showed total disregard for the safety of her toddler. This Defendant failed this child terribly and will have to live with the consequences."
