A 47-year-old Carson City woman was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of felony child abuse causing physical harm, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
The suspect was taken into custody at 1:35 p.m. in the 1100 block of Tamarisk Street. Carson Now is withholding the name of the woman because of the victim involved.
According to the arrest report, a deputy was dispatched to Child Protective Services regarding a report of possible child abuse.
The deputy met with the reporting party from CPS who said that on May 27 she was conducting a welfare check on the victim at a North Carson Street motel room. During the check she observed the child moving her jaw in a non-normal manner. The CPS case worker said she removed the child from custody of the parents right then. The age of the victim was not provided in the arrest report.
She took the victim to Carson Tahoe Hospital where she was drug tested. The victim tested positive for methamphetamine and marijuana. The CPS case worker said that she questioned the victim about the drug use. The victim said her mother provided it to her, the arrest report states.
The deputy interviewed the victim who completed a written statement. A short while later, the suspect was located at 1116 Tamarisk Street where she was arrested and taken to jail. At jail she was read her Miranda rights and agreed to speak. She told the deputy that she had provided methamphetamine to her daughter on May 26 sometime after 10 p.m. Bail: $40,000.
