Sparks child died from methadone, police said; mother arrested:

3-year-old Jessika Toledo Haberle of Sparks, Nevada died on February 23rd. Paramedics were called to the house for Jessika being unresponsive. She died a few hours later.

Yesterday her birth organism, Tracie Shuler, was arrested for her death. The autopsy showed that Jessika died from a Methadone overdose. Haberle had been prescribed Methadone for an unknown reason.

When police searched the house after Jessika’s death they found Methadone bottles and one had the child proof cap removed. Police also said that the house was filthy and had drug paraphernalia.

Jessika’s father and their roommate also lived in the home.

Could this story be any more trashtastic?

Why yes it could by checking out her mugshot.

Thanks to AM for the tip.
