The
woman rushed her baby who fell ill the next day to a hospital and
refused to do a toxicology test despite cocaine showing in the four
month old baby's system but she later admitted to police that she used
the hard drug, but didn't think the baby would be harmed if 12 hours had
passed before breast-feeding.
The
television personalities said the child was 'wabbly,' 'became limp' and
that her 'eyes were rolling into the back of her head,' and rushed her
on May 15 to Oro Valley Hospital.
The
couple agreed to have the baby transferred to another hospital- Diamond
Children's Hospital, after they both refused doing blood tests, and once
the baby arrived at the facility, they also refused letting the baby
undergo a toxicology test.
The hospital eventually conducted a
urinalysis and a toxicology screen on the baby in the presence of police officials and child welfare, and found
out the baby had cocaine in his bloodstream.
According to the Arizona Daily Star,
one detective wrote in a report: 'It should be noted that at no time
according to the report did either parent tell the hospital staff about
the mother's cocaine use the night before and Krystin continued to
breast feed while at the hospital.'
She first denied taking cocaine, but later admitted to police that she snorted cocaine on May 14 while hosting friends in their Oro Valley home before breast feeding the child.
He
reportedly told cops that he used the drug about 'every six weeks or
so,' and that he has watched his wife use cocaine since giving birth to
their daughter four months ago.
Police obtained a search warrant and found 1.59 grams of cocaine and a scale inside their home on May 16.
Detectives
also located 'one clear baggie' containing a white powdery substance
along with a Hilton Hotel Honor's card that had a white residue on it.
In
addition, they found another container that had .1 grams of cocaine, a
Tiffany and Co. jewelry box with a rolled-up dollar bill with residue
inside of it and another bag with .21 grams of cocaine.
The couple were arraigned on several charges, including child abuse, possession of a dangerous drug and drug paraphernalia on Monday but both plead not guilty in court.
