A Knoxville woman was sentenced to ten years in prison after her daughter was permanently disabled from a fentanyl overdose.
47-year-old Stacy Rena Boles was found guilty of aggravated child abuse and aggravated child neglect back in November 2025. Knoxville District Attorney General Charme Allen announced on Monday that Bole would spend ten years in prison with no chance of parole.
According to reports, Boles, along with her 16-year-old daughter, went to visit her husband Dustin at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in April 2022. Dustin Boles was a patient at the hospital at the time.
Boles brought a bag of fentanyl into the hospital with her, with plans to share it with her husband. During the visit, the couple’s daughter also took fentanyl.
A UTMC staff member initiated a Code Blue after discovering the girl overdosing in the hospital room. Allen says Boles and her husband both overdosed as well. All were revived after being given naloxone.
The daughter, however, was paralyzed after the overdose.
“While we have made progress reducing the number of overdose deaths in our community, fentanyl remains the most dangerous drug on our streets,” said DA Allen. “Fentanyl and fentanyl analogues have been the top drug found in overdose death cases in Knox County since 2016.”
Boles’ husband Dustin was also charged, but he passed away while the case was still pending.
