Woman Uses Child as Drug Hiding Place
Tuesday, April 10, 2007 at 4:03PM There's no other way to describe what one Millers Creek woman did than to say it's amazing. And not in a good way.
The woman, who is not identified on a sheriff's department crime report, was driving recklessly on College Street yesterday afternoon about 1. The deputy says when he pulled her over, the woman was slurring her words, but when asked if she'd had anything to drink or if she'd taken illegal drugs, she said no. She'd gotten out of the car at the request of the deputy, and when he asked if she would allow him to look through the car, she asked if he had a search warrant.
Then -- and this is where the amazing part comes in -- she crawled back into the Mustang, into the back seat, and began loving on her 6-year old boy. The deputy watched through the window as she tried to stuff a baggie into her son's front pocket, and when that didn't work, she put it in his back pocket. At that point, the deputy arrested the woman, as there were also prescription drugs in the car that did not belong to her.
The baggie she'd tried to hide in her son's pocket turned out to be marijuana, and the deputy found straws and apparent cocaine in the car. He called social services and after they took custody of the boy, he hauled the woman to jail, where she was booked for child abuse and multiple drug possession charges. Her bond was set at 75-hundred dollars.
