A Morgan County man who overdosed on heroin in his baby daughter's Cincinnati hospital room earlier this month has been indicted on drug and weapons charges.
Wesley Scott Landers, 32, of Trinity has been indicted on charges of having a weapon while under disability, possession of heroin, possessing drug abuse instruments and carrying a concealed weapon, according to WCPO in Cincinnati.
Landers' wife, 31-year-old Mary Ann Landers, was found dead Jan. 7 on the floor of their 7-month-old daughter Lucy's hospital room at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. A syringe was still in her arm when she was found.
Wesley Landers was found unconscious in the hospital room's private bathroom, also with a needle in his arm. Two additional syringes of heroin were on the bathroom sink.

Landers, who has a previous criminal history, had a loaded gun in his pants pocket and police found a gun in Mary Ann Landers' purse.
The couple were in Cincinnati with their daughter to see her through tracheal reconstruction surgery. The little girl, who has an older sister, was born with an airway that was too narrow.
Mary Ann Landers posted a picture of her daughter resting in her room after she'd made it successfully through surgery. Hours later, she was dead.
Wesley Landers remains jailed in the Hamilton County, Ohio jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.
