NEW YORK WOMAN CHARGED AFTER COCAINE FOUND IN BABY'S CRIB

ONEIDA, N.Y. - A central New York woman faces child endangerment
charges as well as drug offenses after police found 8.5 grams of
cocaine hidden in her baby's crib.

Oneida Police Chief David Meeker says [name redacted], 23, was charged
Tuesday after investigators with a warrant searched her apartment at 6
a.m. They found a container of cocaine in her baby's crib, but Meeker
said the packaging prevented the child from having contact with the
drug.

[name redacted] was charged with criminal possession of a controlled
substance and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Her
two children, both under six, were placed with other family members
and [name redacted] was sent to Madison County Jail on $2,500 bail.
She's due in court on Friday.

Police didn't know if [name redacted] has a lawyer.
