A call came in at 8:42 p.m. Friday night for “officer wanted,” according to police logs.
The logs state: “Baystate Nobler ER is reporting a one-year-old male child overdose victim of heroin. The patient was brought in by (his) mother.”
The Westfield Detective Bureau responded to the call, reporting to the hospital and to the home address to “secure the scene,” according to police logs.
