The parents of an 11-month-old girl have been arrested after the child nearly died of a drug overdose last weekend in Corinna.
The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office says 22-year-old Taezja DiPietro and 26-year-old Zachary Borg were arrested after officials received a call last Saturday about a child suffering a medical event.

DiPietro and Borg were charged with aggravated furnishing drugs to a minor, domestic violence reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, endangering the welfare of a child and possession of a Class W drug.
