Two TV reporters were arrested after their baby was tested positive for cocaine.
Two television reporters from Tucson, Arizona have been charged with child abuse after their four-month-old tested positive for cocaine.
Somchai Lisaius and Krystin Lisaius were charged with drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and child abuse, after they were arrested for allegedly snorting cocaine in their Tucson, Arizona home last month during a “gathering,” according to reports.
The morning after the small party, Mrs. Lisaius noticed that her baby became “limp” and “wabbly” after breastfeeding her. Soon after, the infant’s “eyes were rolling,” which prompted the Lisaiuses to seek medical care.
The couple subsequently brought their child to the emergency room, but did not allow the staff to take blood samples. It wasn’t until the Office of Child Welfare Investigations and Department of Child Safety got involved that doctors were able to conduct a urinalysis and blood-work, which tested positive for cocaine use.
Krystin Lisaius then told authorities that she had breastfed the infant 12 hours after she had snorted cocaine – what she thought was the appropriate waiting time before doing drugs and feeding the baby without any negative consequences.
Since the charges, Somchai Lisaius has been fired from his job as a crime reporter on KOLD-TV.
The couple pleaded “not guilty” to all charges.
