A Carroll County couple was indicted by a grand jury Thursday in the murder of their toddler son.
Douglas Allen, 26, and Amanda Foster, 28, have been indicted in the Feb. 19 death of their 2-year-old son, who had extremely high levels of Oxycodone in his system at the time of his death, according to the Carroll County coroner.

Police say Foster called 911 the morning of Feb. 19 telling dispatchers she had found her son unresponsive in his bed. A toxicology report showed extremely high levels of Oxycodone caused the child’s death.
Detectives believe it was Allen who allegedly gave his son a Schedule II narcotic the night before the boy died. Allen was arrested at the Kentucky State Police post in Campbellsburg during interrogation that same day, and later charged with murder. Foster was arrested at her home on April 1 on charges of criminal abuse and transfer of a controlled substance to a minor.
They were both indicted on Thursday on charges of murder, three counts of criminal abuse first, two counts of transferring a controlled substance to a minor, tampering with physical evidence, trafficking in a controlled substance first, and trafficking in a controlled substance second.
The grand jury also returned an indictment against Paul Byers, 50, in connection with the case. Byers was indicted on charges of tampering with physical evidence, trafficking in a controlled substance first, and trafficking in a controlled substance second.
Police did not release any other information on how Byers was related to the case.
Both parents are being held in the Carroll County Detention Center.
