A 25-year-old Reno woman was arrested Saturday on two gross misdemeanor charges of child endangerment after she told police she and her boyfriend took Ecstasy and hallucinogenic mushrooms and that he flipped out, punching a mirror inside the bedroom where her two children were sleeping, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
The woman was arrested Saturday, 11:37 a.m. in the 1600 block of Linda Kay Court. According to the arrest report, officers were called to a home where a man had overdosed on drugs.
Deputies and Carson City Fire Department personnel responded to the home where the man resisted and kicked officers. He was detained and treated for cuts, the arrest report states. Officers spoke with the man’s girlfriend who relayed the following: She arrived at the man’s home Friday night at around 9 p.m. where he had been watching her two children, a girl, 7, and a boy, 3.
She said she acquired drugs in Reno before coming for her visit. She said once the kids went to sleep in the man’s bedroom the two took the drug Ecstasy at around 10 p.m. She told officers she wanted to party like when they were young, the arrest report states. She said they also took hallucinogenic mushrooms after ingesting the Ecstasy.
The woman told deputies the children were asleep the whole time when the two took the drugs. She said the man began to show severe signs of having a negative reaction to the drugs and that he became paranoid and punched the mirror in the bedroom where the kids were and left blood all over the bedroom walls, floor, bathroom, living room and furniture.
The woman was also covered in blood as she tried to comfort the man, the arrest report states. She was arrested for child endangerment and neglect.
