Haze Hamlett, 32, was arrested this afternoon by Violent Crimes detectives at his home on Hicks Road. He faces a two-count grand jury indictment related to the March 9, 2023 death of his 2-year-old son, Joshua. Hamlett was indicted for first degree murder and aggravated child abuse after Joshua was found to have died from fentanyl and xylazine toxicity.
The investigation, led by Youth Services Detective Steffani Dahlstrom, revealed that Hamlett, who has a history of drug abuse, had left pills out that tested positive for suboxone and Adderall. These pills, which he admitted to purchasing “off the street,” are believed to have been laced with fentanyl and xylazine before being consumed by the 2-year-old. Hamlett is currently being held in lieu of a $200,000 bond.
