MURRAY — Sheriff Christopher M. Bourke announced that on Aug. 19, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office arrested Brianna R. Button, 29, of Holley, New York, on two counts of endangering the welfare of a child following an investigation into an incident that occurred on July 7 at Newport Drive in the Town of Murray.
The investigation determined that two 15-year-old males became unresponsive after smoking an unknown substance allegedly provided by Button.
Although Button attempted life-saving measures on one of the juveniles, she left the scene prior to the arrival of emergency medical responders.
A New York State Parole Officer operating in the area provided medical assistance upon being waved down by area residents who became aware of the situation.
The Murray Joint Fire District responded to the scene and were assisted by Hamlin Ambulance and Mercy Ambulance.
Both juveniles were transported to area hospitals for treatment and have since made a full recovery.
Endangering the welfare of a child is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year incarceration and a $1,000 fine.
