A couple
in Arizona, Som Lisaius, 42, and Krystin Sorich Lisaius, were arraigned on several
charges, including child abuse, possession of a dangerous drug and drug
paraphernalia on Monday but both plead not guilty in court.
The woman
rushed her baby who fell ill to a hospital and refused to do a toxicology test
despite cocaine showing in the four month old baby's system but she later
admitted to police that she used the hard drug, but didn't think the baby would
be harmed if 12 hours had passed before breast-feeding.
The
hospital eventually conducted a urinalysis and a toxicology screen on the baby
in the presence of police officials and child welfare, and found out the baby
had cocaine in his bloodstream.
According
to the Arizona Daily Star, one detective wrote in a report: 'It should
be noted that at no time according to the report did either parent tell the
hospital staff about the mother's cocaine use the night before and Krystin
continued to breast feed while at the hospital.'
She first
denied taking cocaine, but later admitted to police that she snorted cocaine on
May 14 while hosting friends in their Oro Valley home before breast feeding the
child.
He
reportedly told cops that he used the drug about 'every six weeks or so,' and
that he has watched his wife use cocaine since giving birth to their daughter
four months ago.
Police
obtained a search warrant and found 1.59 grams of cocaine and a scale inside
their home on May 16.
Detectives
also located 'one clear baggie' containing a white powdery substance along with
a Hilton Hotel Honor's card that had a white residue on it.
In
addition, they found another container that had .1 grams of cocaine, a Tiffany
and Co. jewelry box with a rolled-up dollar bill with residue inside of it and
another bag with .21 grams of cocaine.
