According to Skook News, Hazleton Police responded to the One Stop at 419 S. Poplar Street, after a caller reported a female was in the bathroom of the EZ Stop for 20 minutes.
Police found a 2 year old female and a 9 year old male in the back seat of an unattended vehicle owned by Nicole Paskovich, who informed them that she utilized 3 bags of Fentanyl while in the bathroom.
105 bags of Heroin, Methamphetamine and an uncapped needle, were recovered in the vehicle.
