Pickaway County is still looking for Brittany Stroud, charged with involuntary manslaughter after her 17-month-old daughter died with fentanyl in her system.

This is a warrant, not a verdict. Tammy Stroud has pleaded not guilty. Brittany Stroud has not been arrested, and the public account of that morning is what investigators put in charging papers and what a 911 call captured. A court still has to test both.

Brittany M. Stroud, 30, is wanted on charges of involuntary manslaughter, child endangerment and possession of a controlled substance after her 17-month-old daughter died with a fatal amount of fentanyl in her system, ABC6 and People reported, citing the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office. The child's grandmother, Tammy Stroud, 52, is charged with complicity to those same counts, ABC6 and the Circleville Herald reported. WHIO spelled Brittany's first name Brittney and described Tammy's charges as involuntary manslaughter, child endangerment and complicity to drug possession. This account uses Brittany, the spelling ABC6, People and the Herald used, and the complicity counts those outlets described for Tammy. The child is not named here.

Deputies and Scioto Township medics were called around 11:14 a.m. on Oct. 13 to a home on High Street in Orient, the sheriff's office said. The Circleville Herald, quoting Sheriff Matthew O. Hafey, gave the address as 7809 High Street, Unit 3. WHIO described the call as the 7000 block of High Street. Medics started CPR and took the girl to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, where she was pronounced dead. The sheriff's office learned of the death at 11:56 a.m., WHIO reported. An autopsy the next day at the Franklin County Coroner's Office found a fatal amount of fentanyl, the sheriff's office said.

A Franklin County court order had placed the toddler in Tammy Stroud's custody and barred Brittany Stroud from unsupervised visits, ABC6 and People reported. ABC6, citing charging documents, reported the restriction was tied to a fentanyl addiction, and that the papers allege the girl and a younger sibling both tested positive for fentanyl at birth. The sibling is not named here. ABC6 also reported that Franklin County Children Services, which already had a case involving Brittany Stroud, had been moving to remove the toddler from the home because it appeared Brittany Stroud had been living there, and that the agency now has custody of her other children.

On a 911 call, a woman who identified herself as Brittany Stroud told a dispatcher that CPR was not necessary, ABC6 reported. Asked whether she knew CPR, she said, "We are past that; she is purple," the station reported. She told dispatchers she had heard the child breathing strangely earlier that morning. Relatives told deputies the child's face had been pushed into a mattress, ABC6 reported. Those details come from the charging papers and the recorded call. They have not been tested in court.

Warrants went out Oct. 16, the sheriff's office said. Tammy Stroud surrendered Oct. 18 and pleaded not guilty the next morning in Circleville Municipal Court, ABC6 reported. She is being held in the Pickaway County jail on a $250,000 bond. Brittany Stroud was still being sought Tuesday, ABC6 and People reported. ABC6 said she was last seen driving a red Jeep Compass and may be in the Franklin County area. Law & Crime reported the same outstanding warrant. A charge is an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
