Woman blows narcotic smoke into baby’s face, then assaults officer, WA cops say
A woman blew smoke from narcotics into a baby’s face, then assaulted an officer, Washington officials said.
On Oct. 5, Seattle officers got reports of a 39-year-old woman “smoking narcotics out of tinfoil and blowing the smoke into the baby’s face,” according to a news release by the police department.
Witnesses also saw the woman throw the baby into a stroller rather than “gently placing the baby into the stroller as one normally would,” officers said.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found the woman lying down while holding the baby who wasn’t wearing clothes or a diaper, police said.
The woman had tinfoil around her and a lighter with burned pieces of tinfoil in her bag, officers said.
When officers tried waking her up, the baby started kicking their legs, and that’s when the woman threatened to attack officers, police said.
The woman declined medical assistance and eventually became “combative” leaving an officer with minor injuries from kicking him with her metal prosthetic leg, officers said.
She was arrested on charges of reckless endangerment and assault, pending arrest warrants in connection with assault, property destruction, vehicle trespassing, theft and making a false statement to a public servant, officers said.
She was booked into the King County Jail, and the baby was put into the care of Child Protective Services, officers said.
