Child taken from mother after cops find needles, heroin

By Lucas Sullivan | Tuesday, September 22, 2009, 10:13 AM

DAYTON - A 2-year-old boy is in the custody of Montgomery County Children’s Services and his 25-year-old mother in jail after officers said they found drug paraphernalia near his car seat Monday, Sept. 21.

An officers was patrolling the area near North Main Street and Grand Avenue about 1:40 a.m. Monday when he noticed a silver Pontiac Grand Am with Indiana license plates sitting at a traffic light, the report stated.

The officer recognized the car as the one outside a drug house earlier Monday morning, the report stated.

The driver, Crystal Shaw, crossed marked traffic lanes while trying to merge onto Interstate 75 and was pulled over by the officer. Shaw said she was traveling with her son and friend Chad Riley from Richmond, Ind., to pick up her aunt, who had been drinking, the report stated.

But the officer noticed a bloody napkin in the car and asked to search the vehicle, the report stated. A search of the car turned up .14 grams of heroin and needles used for heroin use, including some in a baggie less than 18 inches from Shaw’s 2-year-old son.

Shaw said some family members were diabetic and that’s what the needles were for, the report stated. She later told officers on the way to the Montgomery County Jail that Riley did not know about the heroin Shaw brought with them, the report stated.

It is unclear if she bought the heroin in Dayton or Indiana, police said.

Children’s Services responded to check on Shaw’s son and took custody of him after a suitable relative could not be located, the report stated. It is unclear if the baby will remain in foster care or returned to relatives.

Shaw was arrested on felony child endangering, drug possession charges and misdemeanor charge of possessing drug paraphernalia. Riley was arrested on possession of drug paraphernalia, the report stated.

Both were expected to appear in court today about 1:30 p.m., according to jail records.
