(KAIR)--An Atchison woman is facing charges related to child endangerment stemming from an investigation that began in February.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 34-year-old Sasha Gerard was arrested Sunday morning, around 2:15, in the 100 block of South 3rd Street, and taken into custody on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging her with aggravated endangering a child.
Following her arrest, Gerard was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Wilson, in the release, explains that police began their investigation February 13 after a child, under the age of two, suffered a medical emergency. That morning, Wilson says, his officers responded to a residence in the 900 block of Santa Fe Street shortly before 2:00 that morning, with the baby found to be unresponsive.

According to the release, “life saving measures were taken and the baby was transported to the hospital by EMS and subsequently to Children's Mercy” in Kansas City.

Gerard is currently free on a $25,000 bond..
