Police find woman passed out in car with heroin, crying child
A woman was caught with dozens of bags of suspected heroin and hundreds of dollars, after Butler police say they found her Tuesday night passed out at the wheel of a car with a young child in the back seat.
Jessie L. Dick, 38, of Butler was arrested and placed in Butler County Prison on charges including felony drug possession and child endangerment.
Dick was arraigned on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, endangering the welfare of a child, and possession of a controlled substance and a small amount of marijuana.
Police were called shortly before 9 p.m. for a report of a woman slouched over the steering wheel of a vehicle that was blocking a fire hydrant on the 400 block of Zeigler Avenue.
When she rolled down the window officers smelled marijuana coming from the car. They looked in the back seat and noticed a small child, about 2 years old, who was crying and sweating.
When officers searched the car they found a marijuana grinder with suspected marijuana in it, stamp bags of suspected heroin and about $550 in currency.
