twitterNevada mom accused of smoking marijuana with kids
Monday, Dec. 22, 2008 | 1:55 p.m.
MINDEN, Nev. -- A 39-year-old woman was arrested last week on suspicion of smoking marijuana with her two teenage children. Douglas County sheriff's deputies said the woman was detained after they responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle. Deputies said the woman told them that she was teaching her son to drive, but they smelled marijuana emanating from the vehicle.
The suspect's son, whose age was unavailable, and 14-year-old daughter told deputies they had shared two bowls of marijuana with their mother.
The woman was booked into jail Tuesday on charges of child endangerment, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and possession of a drug.
The 14-year-old was released to Child and Protective Services, while the boy was placed in juvenile detention.
