Woman Charged After Baby Ingests Cocaine, PCP
Yolanda Beck Charged With Endangering Child's Life
CHICAGO (CBS)
A woman has been charged after a 1-year-old child was found to have cocaine and PCP in his system early Sunday at her East Garfield Park neighborhood home, police said.
Yolanda Beck, 37, of the 3600 block of West Fifth Avenue, was charged with misdemeanor endangering the life and health of a child, according to police.
About 3:20 a.m. Sunday, the ill 1-year-old boy was brought to Mount Sinai Hospital where it was discovered that there was PCP and cocaine in the baby's system, according to a Harrison District police captain.
Beck allegedly left multiple aluminum foil wrappers containing a white powder residue suspected to be cocaine and PCP on top of a television stand at the woman's home, according to a police report. The 1-year-old found the foil wrappers and sucked on them, ingesting drug residue.
The child was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital after he was "acting lethargic," police said. After hospital officials called police, investigators went to the house and found the drug paraphernalia.
The child was treated for a drug overdose, but he was in good condition, according to the report.
Beck allegedly admitted to smoking the drugs on the day of the incident and leaving the wrappers behind, where they were easily accessible to the child, the report said.
The relationship between the woman and the child is not known.
Beck was taken into custody Monday at 4:35 p.m. at Harrison Area police headquarters, 3151 W. Harrison St.
She is scheduled to appear in Domestic Violence Court (Br. 60), 555 W. Harrison St., on Aug. 10.
