A woman is facing charges after overdosing while caring for a four-year-old in Ambridge. The child called 911 earlier this month to say she needed help.

She was revived with Narcan and charged after officers found heroin and a hypodermic needle within reach of the little girl. Police say there have been previous overdose incidents in the residence.
