Wesley Landers' stance and posture were unchanged for most of his Friday arraignment until his wife was mentioned. At that moment, Landers dropped his head, closed his eyes and leaned against the lectern in front of him.
His wife Mary Landers, 31, of Trinity, Alabama, was found dead Thursday of an apparent overdose in the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center room of their 7-month-old daughter.
Wesley Landers, also of Trinity, was found unresponsive in the bathroom with a heroin syringe in his arm, needles strewn on sink, and a loaded and chambered handgun in his pants pocket, according to court documents.
Wesley Landers was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment and was arrested on charges of possession of drugs, carrying a concealed weapon, having weapons while under disability and possessing drug abuse instruments.
Facebook and GoFundMe pages linked to the Landers show they were in Cincinnati seeking medical treatment for their daughter. Posts state the family was seeking assistance with covering out-of-pocket expenses for surgery the baby was undergoing on Wednesday.
