Charges in Toddler's Positive Meth Test

(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City woman could face prison time for her one-year-old son testing positive for drugs.

 

Amber Saylor, 32, is charged with level 6 felony neglect of a dependent.

 

According to court records, police became involved at the request of Child Protective Services after her son tested positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine and marijuana.

 

The investigation alleges the boy was exposed from the drugs being used by his parents.

 

Police said Saylor told investigators she smokes methamphetamine and the father of the child smokes marijuana inside the residence. Saylor also admitted to smoking methamphetamine in the home prior to the arrival of child welfare workers, who took the boy out of the home.

 

Saylor, who was booked into the La Porte County Jail on March 3rd, later posted bond.

 

She could face an up-to-30-month prison sentence.
