A Millbrook mother has been arrested for chemical endangerment of a child after her infant child tested positive for cocaine.
According to Millbrook Police Chief P.K. Johnson, on Oct. 21, an infant whose mother, Miriam Abram, 30, of Millbrook, was suspected of being under the influence of narcotics before delivery was delivered at Jackson Hospital. During standard post-delivery treatment, the infant tested positive for cocaine.
According to Chief Johnson, Abram had been arrested by Millbrook police detectives in December 2020, being charged with chemical endangerment of a child under similar circumstances to this case. Abram failed to appear in court for this 2020 case and was wanted on a felony failure to appear warrant as a result.
“This is a very sad case. Sad because it involves an infant child. A child who did not make the decision to be born, nor capable of making a decision to ingest narcotics that may or may not impact their health and ability to thrive for the remainder of their life.” said Chief Johnson.
