MAYSVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — A man is charged with murder in the death of his 3-year-old child after he allegedly allowed the child to come into contact with fentanyl.
William Hanna is charged with murder and wanton endangerment in the first degree.
His case was found to have probable cause and a judge sent the case to the grand jury.
According to an arrest warrant, Hanna "allowed his child to have access to and come into contact with fentanyl and controlled substances and in doing so caused the death of his minor child" and "wantonly engaged in conduct which created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person, when he allowed his other two children to be in close proximity to controlled substances."
Issabella Hanna, 3, of Maysville, died April 19.
One month later, neighbors are still shocked by the news.
"I couldn't imagine something like that, it's sad," said neighbor Jimmy Ware. "They'll never grow up, experience life or anything. They're in a better place now, but they'll never experience anything."
"I just hope she gets the justice that she needs," said neighbor Kion Floyd.
Hanna's preliminary hearing is set for 10 a.m. Monday, May 22.
