"A heartless dad was arrested Tuesday for causing the fentanyl overdose of his 4-year-old son in a Brooklyn family shelter - and then running to hide a bag of heroin and fentanyl as his son lay dying, federal prosecutors said. Yitzchok "Isak" Sklar, 34, is charged with conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death in the case of his son, little Aron Sklar, in a Women In Need (WIN) shelter in East Flatbush back on March 4."
"Sklar was staying at the shelter on Glenwood Road near Schenectady Ave. with Aron's mother when he called a volunteer emergency medical service about 7:15 a.m. to say his son was foaming at the mouth and making unusual noises, according to federal prosecutors. He was then captured on video running out of the shelter to hide a black bag and returning empty-handed a few moments later, according to the feds."
"Medics showed up and found little Aron in the throes of an apparent opioid overdose and the tot's mother told an EMT fentanyl was present inside. The EMT asked whether the fentanyl was in pill or powder form, and Sklar answered, "It's a rock," according to court filings. Investigators found the bag in a nearby BMW X5 SUV rented by Sklar, and discovered substances that tested positive for fentanyl, para-fluorofentanyl and heroin inside, the feds allege."
Yitzchok "Isak" Sklar, 34, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death after his 4-year-old son Aron suffered a fatal fentanyl overdose at a Women In Need shelter in East Flatbush on March 4. The city Medical Examiner ruled the boy's death a homicide due to fentanyl. Video shows Sklar running from the shelter to conceal a bag later found in a BMW X5 rented by him containing fentanyl, para-fluorofentanyl and heroin. Medics discovered the child foaming at the mouth; Sklar told an EMT the fentanyl was "a rock." Investigators allege Sklar and supplier Ahuva Katzin continued drug distribution and monitored communications after the death.
