GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Tatiana Quinones’ arraignment for allegedly selling fentanyl pills at an east-side daycare center was postponed Tuesday, as she still doesn’t have an attorney.
Quinones, 21, faces four charges, including fentanyl delivery near a youth center. She returns to court April 15.
The daycare, Green Bay Academy, 2280 Finger Road, had its license revoked by the state, in part due to the Quinones incident. The owner then closed the facility permanently.
According to the criminal complaint, an undercover informant arranged the purchase of 50 fentanyl pills for $350. Quinones allegedly met the informant in the parking lot Jan. 3 and completed the drug deal. Quinones was arrested the next day.
“In a recorded interview, QUINONES admitted that she does not use Fentanyl M30 pills but did admit to selling them,” the complaint states.
After reviewing surveillance video from inside the daycare center, police believe she was storing the drugs inside the bathroom of the “1 year old room” of the facility.
“Based on my training and experience, QUINONES put multiple children’s lives, whose care she was entrusted with, at risk by storing the fentanyl pills in the daycare. If QUINONES were to drop even one of the small pills, a child could have easily picked it up off the ground and swallowed it, causing them to overdose and possibly die,” the complaint states.
After arresting her, police searched her apartment, where more fentanyl and THC were discovered.
