We were late coming. Okay. We were >> So, you guys are all together? We're all together? >> We were supposed to have a nice beach day. >> Okay. Let's let's use some common sense here, right? We're all adults. >> Yes. >> Where in anybody's right mind would you leave a 2-year-old and a six-year-old unattended? [music] Don't speak until I'm done. >> Cuz this is really >> Would you leave your kids unattended?

I'm going to try to find a parking spot." And vice versa. >> Sure. No. And I'm not I'm not disagreeing with that. Okay. >> I've now heard five different times of how long these children were left. And I understand that 2 minutes is too long. I I [music] understand that. So, I've heard 15 minutes. I've heard >> I don't want to know what you heard from them.

But can you speak on >> Can you speak on behalf of Pat that that they come They come every week. >> She's here every week. >> They come every week. There are other children out here that usually watch. You all tend to try to keep an eye on. >> These are our friends. These are our friends from Williams. >> Please don't do this. >> What the heck? I'm not doing anything. Please. This is so crazy. >> Patty's just policy. Okay. That's how it is. All right. It's not anything doing [laughter] directly to you. Okay. The woman was charged with two counts of neglect of a dependent after officers determined her 2-year-old and six-year-old children were left unattended near the ocean for an extended period. Officers stated that witnesses observed the children unsupervised and approaching the water, prompting interventions. Remember, leaving young children unattended in public places can create serious safety risks. [music] Regardless of familiarity with the environment, officers are required to act based on observed conditions and reported timelines, even when family members are nearby. This is the reaction of netzens to this [music] situation. I can see how fast things escalated once the kids were found alone. This shows how quickly a situation at a beach can turn serious. Tough situation all around, but safety rules are strict for a [music] reason. The tension is already high, or so it seems. What the body cam captures next saves a life pause and comment what you do here. >> Pin foil there, brown all over your nose and wrist. >> I mean, I don't feel comfortable going. >> Okay. Well, not too bad. We're going to stand up and go with cuffs. >> Huh? >> We're going to go and stand up. I don't care. I don't care how comfortable you feel or not feel. On March 27th, 2023, officers responded to a 911 call made by a child reporting that his mother was unresponsive behind a locked bathroom door for several hours. >> You're married. >> You okay? >> Ma'am, she's moving. >> She's responsive after I kick the door in. >> Yeah. Hello. >> Police Department of Fire. >> Can you move? >> Okay. >> Drawers in the way. Y'all got better tools than I do. >> Yeah. >> Police and fire force entry and find the mother semi-conscious on the bathroom floor while her children wait outside crying, believing she may be dead. Is >> that her right there? Yeah, that's her. Yeah, she's getting smashed. >> Cut her leg or something. >> Anybody got uh anything smashed against real quick? >> Nothing in here that's heavy enough to do that. >> Hi. >> You've been drinking. You've been doing drugs. >> 39. She's semi alert. Uh fire work with her. We will need him. So, never mind there. 97 up top. >> So you have your tin foil there. Brown all over your nose and wrist. >> Hey, how about we be some honest here since we got kiddos that called us and you're over here passed out. >> It is ridiculous. You're leaving kids. >> Officers observe aluminum foil powder residue and physical signs consistent with drug use. confronting the mother about leaving the children unattended. >> Unattended while you're over here getting your little high fix. That That is ridiculous. So, let's work with them and try to help some things out. You got any idea, man? >> What? >> Identification. That's why >> I do have Okay. This is ridiculous. >> It is. It sure is. >> Has nothing to do with me and my dad? >> Actually, it does. You're the one that called 911. >> They called 911. >> The kids that were here, they're outside now crying cuz they thought you were dead. >> What? Yeah, that's what >> Oh my gosh. >> What's your last name? >> My last name is Weber. Has nothing to do with >> The mother denies intentional drug use, claiming her ex-boyfriend hid narcotics in her prescription bottle without her knowledge. >> Me and M. >> What's your first name, Miss Weber? >> My name is Ashley. >> How you spell that for me? >> S H L E Y. So, who called >> your kids or somebody's kids over here? The young child. What's your date of birth, Ashley? >> All right. I'm telling you, the cops came in. We spoke with them earlier. And we explained all this to him to the police, the actual policeman. He apparently did drugs. And the lady that is over these apartments, which is my best friend's mother-in-law, um is a judge. And we explained all this to her. Like she was here. They had all this done. >> Okay. But let's let's focus let's focus on >> Please again, can you shut that door? Um, I the neighbors has been nothing besides crazy since because and that was because the people that own here apparently it was a big old drug house before I got here and I was not aware of that. >> I'm just trying to figure out why there's aluminum foil in the bathroom >> and I was just in the bathroom and apparently that's where he done that right up in that shelf. So, or not the shelf the ceiling. Like I literally just took my medicine and was getting ready to take a shower and get my kids. >> How did he do it in there? And how were you not able to leave the bathroom, >> sir? I just got here. We was starting to clean everything to get out. The next thing I know, I was I took my medicine. >> Exact. Do you not hear what I'm telling? >> How How did he just leave you passed out in the bathroom? >> Sir, he was not here. The cops just picked him up. The cops just got him within him not functioning or not functioning with them or anything. I literally opened the door, took It's a Jared name on there. >> So, when when was you taken away today? >> Uh, went on 1 2:00. >> We We got here like maybe 20 minutes ago. And whenever we got here, you were pass. >> Are you not hearing what I said? >> But you were unconscious. >> I just took my medicine, went to the bathroom to pee. >> My It was I take it three times a day. Apparently, that's where he had his medicine baldled up in that with a foil. a uh >> bag or whatever. I was literally on the pot sitting there within the time and then the next thing I know I was in the floor and this has happened. >> So, I mean I I can't tell you exactly. Um I was not willingly taking no medicine. >> Officers explained that regardless of intent, the children were left unsupervised while she was incapacitated, triggering the emergency call. Um, I was on the phone with my friend and I told her I was going to call him to work because all this crazy stuff has happened. Um, all he the owner could say was there was this Mexican that stayed here. Um, and that was it was hell getting him out. I was not aware of any of this until um all this started happening with the landlord and them were the HOAs. And like I said once again um the lady was literally a uh judge like that's what she is a retired judge. So her daughter-in-law has went to prison all this crap and she was my best friend. Um I was not aware that this do this place was hot. My dad passed away went through a divorce and they offered to start renting this team um within the month and I thought it was just a good idea to start up here start working at Mercy Hospital and just going from there. So >> 1054 >> you can look at my you can look at my veins or all this crap. Um like literally it just happened. >> So like what happened when I got back >> like I got back uh the door was locked. I was getting ready to take a shower. The next thing I know I woke up to this. So what h like someone called my kids called what? Like we was getting ready to take a shower. I was getting them ready. we've done homework and we're going to just grab something from the Mexican restaurant at the mall or if they're out of here base or whatever. >> Well, according to the notes that I saw when we got dispatched here >> Mhm. >> and from what I've gathered from us being here, you weren't able to let yourself out of the bathroom. In fact, you were slumped up in the bathroom and you weren't able to open the door. And then the kids got upset and called 911 cuz they were concerned about >> the mother becomes defensive, disputes police authority and repeatedly shifts blame to neighbors, landlords, and her ex-boyfriend. >> Anyone have to even close my suspicious activity. >> Is it that strong whatever he had in that bottle? Like that was all clipped up in mine for you to just be on my medicine and me take it and be whatever happened. Is it that strong to do? Like I I don't know exactly what was in the bottle besides of what I heard y'all say. >> Shouldn't make you pass out. >> Not my medicine. I'm saying the substance powder stuff that was on my medicine in the bottle. >> Remember what the powder was. >> They said it was fentanyl. That's what he was on. >> Well, if it was fentanyl, you wouldn't be breathing right now. This would be a whole different situation. >> That's what he did. So it was powder form. He done got it right down here from the people above down below where there are drug sellers at all. >> So is that what you took? >> Huh? >> Is that what you took? >> Sir, I didn't take it. Will did you not just hear what I said? >> No, I walked in after the fact. >> Can you not yell at me? I'm just asking. >> So don't don't give me attitude either. Okay. I walked in after the fact. I don't I don't I I just showed up. Okay. All I know is you were passed out. That's all I know. >> Okay. Medical staff urge hospital evaluation, but she refuses unless child care arrangements are made. >> The rest of the story, we can talk because we're not going to I'm not just keep your house shut then. Okay. >> We're not we're not talking. I'm not asking you any questions or anything. >> Excuse me. I can talk. This is my house. >> All right. >> And actually, um, could you step outside because you can sit outside unless you have a warrant. You're not supposed to. >> I I have a legal reason to be here. Okay. Well, like I said, my mom my mom is a judge. >> That's fine. This is this is recorded, so that's fine. >> That is completely fine. There's no need for you to trick me like I'm a drug addict. I just got the guy out of here that was good. >> So, you do not have to be disrespectful and neither do I. >> Okay. >> Um, who am I speaking with? Are you the paramedic? >> Okay. Um, can I get a shirt on? Because I do not like treat been treated by this officer like I am some freaking drug. Like I have no clue who he is and he's not going to come here and disrespect me in my home because he's a nothing. But he's not going to sit here and act like this to me in my own. >> This is ridiculous. >> Can we do a few more questions? Get it over with. Get a shirt on and get everything over. >> He can. But he's not going to treat me like I'm an LPN to at Mercy Hospital. Like >> what's your first and last name for me? >> My name is Ashley Weber. >> Okay. Yes. Kelly. >> Yes, sir. >> Yes. >> How do y'all work? Do y'all work like us? >> And where have children are? >> Oh, we all work here. >> So, this whole story is just I mean we had to protect that, but we were here. You know, >> we work so all of us that are on right now, we work 14 hours. >> We work 23rd. >> She admits passing out after taking medication, but continues to deny responsibility despite evidence and statements from responding officers. >> I drove here from >> You really need to go to the hospital. Well, I don't I'm not I don't want to unless my mom was here for my kids. I do not. I literally checked my medicine. That's why the guy that was here this morning went to jail because he has been doing um dental or boxes, whatever it is, from the neighbors downstairs. Um so it was not willingly me taking this medicine. It was in my medicine bottle and his was a powder form that was on my medicine, I guess. So, no longer than me coming in, taking my medicine, going to the bathroom, getting ready to take a shower. Um, apparently I was passed out. >> All righty. We got to do one more step since you won't go to the hospital. We're going to have to talk to our medical director. Can you talk to him real quick? >> Yes, sis. >> All right. Thank you. Are you there? >> Yeah. Go ahead. >> So, how long you live here again? What did you say? a couple months. >> I'm sorry. No, I just moved. We got here in August. >> In August? >> Yes. And everything was fine. And with the per with the path of that, um, my now ex-boyfriend was working at this liquor store up here. Um, and so it was a big old deal of the neighbors or the people that owns here is my they lived here in the past and she went to drug court. She's been to prison all that. My dad passed away. I went out of a 30year marriage. So anyways, I work night my 24-hour shift. And apparently in the process of these me working and him working these hours up here, he was messing with these people down here that literally stealth and all um and the girls pregnant too. And anyways, all this was happening when I was at work. Come to find out, I found out everything that happened and started kicking him out with the cops. Police clarify safety concerns and the seriousness of the situation involving drug exposure and child endangerment. >> He was turned in. Um they knocked on the door this morning. I will let him get for him. So >> So he's in jail now, right? It sounds today. >> Yes. And it's not for something he did. I guess they have a hold on him. He has um 10 business days to let Oklahoma City or not Oklahoma City, Sequoia County come and get him from Oklahoma City. He had it all like in this bottle in uh within the hole. He had it all like >> my hole in my medicine >> to apparently I guess to hide what he said. I'm literally clueless when it comes to medicine. I don't know until I started the people that did live here. They said if we find any drugs or whatever um it is from them and they said they had it hid in that wall right there. >> Is that that's where you had it? No, they said that's where they always their drugs. Okay. Right there. >> See that thing that comes up. >> Yeah. >> So anyways, um it was all and all that happened and I guess that's where he was signed to. So when I figured out all this stuff, I said I would not allow this around my children and was in the process of kicking him out and then he kind of flipped [ __ ] and was like almost to the process of like um I wouldn't say uh hold it like he would let me go as long as he was with me if that makes any sense at all. Like I would rather I'd be able to go through my day as long as he was there. So anyways, after I get literally went to get something, he put the $10 in gas and came back here to take my medicine. And I was so thankful the whole box and used that drawer right there. The far drawer >> over here. >> Yes. What he used? >> What's his name again? >> Michael, like he's never been in trouble up here or anything until this happened. And then the people downstairs and Daniel and Lacy, I don't know Daniel's last name, but I do know he ate me because he offered him more than once. >> More cuz we had a dog that which is my mom's now. But every time we go walk the dog, he was out there >> on working on his uh I don't even know. It's a silver SUV type thing. I couldn't tell you. But he would be up there till like 3:00 in the morning. And um every time that he would be in contact with Mikey, it was over drugs. It was overall until finally I caught him flip [ __ ] and um that's why he's out. But he was using my medicine bottles to put his stuff in gone completely, which is not a big deal to me. Like I don't take him every day. Literally as needed. And it was usually like if I needed it was the time to be like when I came home to go to sleep. And it was an everyday use. This all happened like I came home, took my medicine, was getting ready to take a shower and packing. You see the boxes packing his stuff and then I guess this happened. >> Officers detain and arrest her after determining the children were neglected due to her incapacitation. >> Do right now, what we're what we are going to do right now actually is you and I are going to go downstairs. Okay. Um I'm going to have you sit in my car while we get while I speak to other officers and see what what we're going to do. Okay. Obviously, we need to make arrangements for like he said, you know, he'd like another adult to be here with your kids, you know, concerns and all these things. Okay. Now, for you to sit in my car, you you will be in cuffs in my car. Okay. You can't sit in the backseat of my car without without cuffs. Okay. Per policy. Excuse me. >> Can y'all not come in here and sit with me? I'm not >> No, we'll have to go down there. Okay. And and and your kids are down there. I mean, I'm not going to do I'm not going to cuff you in front of your kids, you know, but I'll I'll I'll I'll have you sit on my car and your kids I I said I saw them when I came up here, but I don't know exactly where they're at downstairs. Okay. Um >> Um I mean, I don't feel comfortable going. >> Okay. Well, not too bad. We're going to stand up and cuffs. >> Huh? >> We're going to go and stand up. I don't care. We're I don't care how comfortable you feel or not feel. >> We're standing up. >> Okay. Okay. I mean, what am I going to What is going to look like as far as Can y'all explain to me what I'm getting? Like am I going to jail or for or what? >> Child neglect. >> Cuz I took my medicine and it had been Are you serious? >> 100% serious. >> This is not okay. >> You admitted to him. >> That was in your hand. >> I did not admit to that. That was a lie. I told y'all that he just went to jail this morning. >> This is ridiculous. Oh my god. Sir, please do not be rude to me. I don't know. >> I'm not. I pulled right I You want me to be rude? I could have left pulled you in front of your kids. I pulled over here so your kids not seeing handicing what y'all's doing. >> I just told you you're going to jail. >> This is ridiculous. Like y'all are sitting there saying this and it has to do with him and his fel powder was on my medicine from the people downstairs. >> You smoke your pills, huh? I don't smoke my pill like y'all are not listening to. >> Okay. Well, I was there when I kicked in the door >> and I opened it all in. >> They did not. You did not. >> I didn't let you. >> Fire. Fire tore the door off the hinges. >> I'm talking about this morning. >> We weren't here this morning. This is this afternoon. >> Oh my god. This is ridiculous. Like you're sitting here saying I said I smoke my deal. That was not said either. >> Well, >> that was not like what the [ __ ] >> you know. Anything inside your body or inside your cavities or anything like that? >> No drugs hidden up inside your body. >> I have a nurse. No, I don't. >> Check. Make sure you drop anything back there. We'll go this way. Oh, she's staying in front on the off chance she threw up or not. >> Ashley Weber, 35, was arrested and booked on two counts of child neglect. She also had an outstanding warrant from Cherokee County for neglect of a family member. Bond was set at a 100 on thousands. Remember, children should never be placed in a position where they must call 911 to save a parent. Regardless of intent, being incapacitated by drugs or substances while caring for children can lead to criminal charges. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. Those kids were terrified. That's the part people keep ignoring. Excuses don't change the fact that the children were alone and scared. Blaming everyone else doesn't undo child neglect. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. >> You can't smoke with a kid in the car. >> Okay, I don't really know the law. >> He was in there when I was smoking, but I I honestly didn't know nothing about >> Well, I mean, that's bad enough, but >> don't make it stink. >> Well, technically it is. >> It's not. >> Whoever wants me to go. On August 27th, 20-23, officers address a situation involving smoking inside a parked vehicle while a young child was present, emphasizing safety and legality concerns. >> But anyway, she uh >> she messaged me right after I got >> Hey, Ashley. >> Hey, >> Sergeant Hogan Police Department. >> What's going on? >> Nothing. >> Well, we got to call people going. The mother acknowledges smoking but states she was unaware it could be an issue with a child nearby and cooperates with officers >> in the car with a baby >> they're setting I mean yes sir >> I got a blunt in my hand >> I know you've been I know you smoking >> I mean we've been setting out >> no I'm not trying >> like I have a blunt I mean we just come out Yeah. >> Okay. >> You got anything on? >> You can't smoke with a kid in the car. >> Okay. I don't really know the law, honestly. >> Not with I don't >> Well, any smoke cigarettes or >> Yeah. >> I didn't know that. Yeah. >> I didn't know that, honestly. >> Yes. You got in your little purse there. >> Just Just be honest with me. >> No, I don't. >> You don't? >> I don't. No, you can look. >> Okay. Do you have any at all on you? >> I don't. I don't. >> Okay. >> Officers inspect the vehicle and nearby items while maintaining a calm conversation focused on responsibility and awareness. >> Any anywhere else in the car besides that? Did y'all already smoke at all? >> There's nothing else in there. You can search. >> How old your kid? >> 15 months old. >> 15. >> So you said you got to call what? called two people doing drug. >> Few people doing drugs. >> Yeah. In the car with a baby and gave this address. >> I don't need that. >> What the >> I mean that's random. I mean we sit out here in this car all the time. Like we're out here all the time. My grandma can even tell you like we out here to >> crush what that one >> the what? >> Okay here. Is >> this where he stored it? >> No. >> No. >> That's where I keep my roaches at. >> Gotcha. Hey there. >> How are you? >> Hey, Ashley. If you you can come back. >> Police informed the adults that a report will be forwarded to Child Protective Services for review regardless of arrest decisions. >> Back here and get him. >> Like I said, I don't know where >> you you can get him. Just hang out right here. Okay. >> Okay. >> Any here? This was in her thing here that she's at. It's what they use to crush up the Hey Ashley, y'all crushing on this, too. >> That's what I crushed them on. >> Okay. You have to feel testing, I think. And it was in here. >> It's going to be up to Officer Wheeler, but >> I can I can talk. You know what I mean? >> Huh? That's what I can talk if you know what I mean. >> Okay. All right. But I I will be honest with you and I will tell you that uh report will be sent to CPS about this. >> Okay. >> Well, >> he was in there when I was >> The mother expresses concern about the CPS report and asks what information will be included. Officers explain it will reflect observed facts only. I I honestly didn't know nothing about >> Well, I mean that's bad enough, but I mean I haven't met >> he wasn't around none of that. >> And we honestly >> we still we still have to send a report to CPS >> and I I don't know what they'll do with that. Okay. >> So like report you mean as in what >> a report be sent to CPS? >> What would it say? >> And then whether they follow up with it that that's up to them. >> What would it say? >> Huh? >> What would it say? What? The report. Yeah. >> Um, basically what we did, what we saw, what you found. >> Yep. What we found. Yep. >> I mean, my grandma didn't even vouch. Like, we literally just went in and got him. We didn't even go there. The girls rock the porch. >> Well, we we've been sitting in We were standing out here for a good 10 minutes. >> That's Yeah, >> that's how you >> both of you. >> Yeah, my daughter. My grandma has both of them. My daughter. But the little one right there's >> got them what I told you. >> Mhm. I did. I just did. >> Oh, okay. >> All right. >> Officers confirm no one is being arrested at the scene and arrange for the child to remain with a family member during further questioning. >> So, neither one of you going to jail tonight? >> All right. All right. So, can your grandma watch the little one and you come in talk to detective? >> I want I want to separate y'all. That way you don't. >> You can separate it right here. I'm going to get >> But it's got to be formal. You see the thing? >> No. >> I got to put you right. It won't take long. >> We'll give you a while back. >> She said for what? talk about what I have to be throwing to put to bed. >> No. I mean, she >> I mean, like I said, you you can you can tell her whatever you want to. It It's up to you. >> Just [clears throat] tell her that. >> Can Can y'all take one of us first and the other one stay here with him? >> I'm going to leave it up to him. >> Okay. Or can I take him with me if I walk down there? I mean, Hobie said it be like 30 minutes back. I mean, I don't mind if she comes here for my grandma cuz she's already got the two girls in there. >> I mean, it's not going to be a long time. You want her to walk down there? >> Yeah, >> I can walk. >> I got his stroller in the bus. >> Police explain public substance use laws and clarify why the situation is treated seriously when a child is present. >> I'll talk to him first. >> Okay. And >> you do your thing with the baby and then we'll flip-flop. Okay. >> All right. >> Did you get all your evidence? >> Yeah. >> Don't make it like dance. Well, technically it is. >> It's not. >> It is a crime scene. >> I mean, it's technically Yeah, it's a crime scene, but not >> feel like smoking a blunt in the yard. Is it like drinking beer in the yard? >> Yep. Can't do it. You can only smoke in your house. >> You can get like a blunting bubble. >> No. Oh, yeah. >> Seriously. >> Mhm. Yep. You get DUI smoking. >> Mhm. The wor the the people I've had the worst field spotty test were how >> get back. >> No, I'm serious. >> Yeah, >> it's not as harmless of what people think. >> I mean, it depends on who you get it from. I guess the place is not. >> All right. Your rights one more time. Okay. >> You understand your rights and you agree to speak just initial here and sign it. >> So, we got a call. Basically, you guys, I'm assuming we're seen um smoking inside of a vehicle with the kid in the car. Okay, >> it is what it is at this point. >> Officers conduct a formal interview discussing substance sources and stressing long-term consequences rather than immediate punishment. >> What happened happened? Do you know where it came from? >> Uh it is true. It's one of her girls that she always goes to and I believe it's the girl up there dollar store here by food and I know a couple other people go to her >> through her as well. >> So she she sells it up at the dollar store cuz she don't want her boyfriend which I believe his name is Brandon's name. She don't want him knowing that she's doing it and selling it. Whatever. >> You know how much you sell? How much do y'all get at a time? >> It's normally just a little 20 bag, which ain't much at all. >> You know how much they buy it for? >> Oh, she normally buys 20, 30 bags almost probably every day. >> Do you buy it all? >> No. >> No. >> You just smoke whatever she has. Okay. >> I have gave her money to support her and I'll be doing it with her demand. So, I can't say much. If you're not on probation, if you're not and you want to do some work, you can do that. >> I might literally be the one who sets them up. >> So, so basically how it works just between me and you, if you know people and you know they reach out to you, say, "Hey, you want to announce for whatever, >> right? >> You text one of us and and you you basically plan the whole thing out where you want to meet, what you want to get." We provide you with whatever you need. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Don't mess with people like that. >> Right. If you want to do it, we can set you up, get you with the right people, and then basically these these chargers can go away. >> Yeah. I need that. I don't want to mess anybody's life up like that. >> But this people, >> yeah, >> it's horrible. It's ruining a lot of people. >> Officers emphasize that child safety escalates enforcement decisions. >> I've seen a lot of my friends just completely go downhill and lose everything because of it. And right, >> she's something me to the point to where like >> I just can't stay with her. Like I just want to completely leave her honestly. But >> man, I'm doing it for my baby and I don't know. I just can't do it on my own either. >> You let us know. We set it up. You do what you got to do. You get you get money.

Okay. >> Stop me from driving, >> right? Jacob's got you with scales. >> He said it. >> Two task force guys. And it would it would be really different if you didn't have a baby in the back seat. >> No immediate arrest was made at the scene. A report was submitted to child protective services for further assessment. Authorities focused on documentation, cooperation, and child safety rather than immediate detention. Remember, even short lapses in judgment can trigger legal and child welfare involvement when minors are present. Laws around substance use change significantly once a child's safety becomes a factor. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. People don't realize how fast CPS can get involved over situations like this. It didn't seem malicious, but it still crossed a serious line. Having a baby in the car changes everything legally. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes [music] everything. Comment if you saw it
