LAWRENCE, MASS. (WHDH) - A mother who overdosed with her daughter beside her was back in court and admitted the state has a case against her.
Mandy McGowan, 37, of Salem, New Hampshire, had her motion to dismiss the charge denied by a Lawrence District Court judge.
Surveillance video from inside the Lawrence store showed the woman passed out on the floor as her two-year-old daughter tried to wake her up.
Emergency crews revived McGowan, after administering two doses of Narcan, a drug that reverses opioid overdoses.
The judge continued her case without a finding for two years, during which McGowan must continue to live at a sober house, remain in drug treatment and remain drug free, among other things.
