RACCOON, Ky. — A Pike County couple is facing a child abuse charge, after their daughter sought a neighbor’s help when they passed out and she couldn’t wake them.

The neighbor called police after the 7-year-old girl showed up at her house just after 2 a.m., Friday. Police went to the home on Keene Village Drive at Raccoon and couldn’t get anybody to come to the door, but they went inside after looking through the window and seeing a woman on the couch who appeared to be possibly dead.

The woman, identified variously in public records as either 46-year-old Mandy Coleman or Mandy Lewis, was not dead, but was breathing shallowly and had cold, damp skin. Her husband, James Coleman, 59, was also passed out in the floor nearby.

Repeated attempts wake the couple were unsuccessful, until police revived them with Narcan. Mandy Coleman required two doses, but denied using any drugs other than her prescription for hydrocodone.

James Coleman told police that Mandy Coleman came home with a large bag of a yellow powder, snorted some of it and passed out on the couch. He said he also snorted a small line for pain and also passed out.
Police believe the powder to be fentanyl.

Both were arrested on charges of second-degree child abuse and drug possession.
