A woman and her boyfriend have been arrested after giving marijuana to the woman’s 6-year-old son, police said today.
Regina Martinez, 25, and Jason Ladehoff, 21, are scheduled for a court hearing later this month after the two were arrested on Jan. 9.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, a man who went to the couple’s apartment on the 9000 block of West 16th Avenue to buy 1 1/2 ounces of pot saw Ladehoff offer the boy marijuana.
The boy at first denied to police that he smoked it, but later said he had smoked pot from a pink pipe.
The boy also said he had smoked marijuana and drank alcohol on several occasions, primarily on weekends, at the house, the warrant said.
Martinez and Ladehoff face several charges, including child abuse and providing marijuana to a person under 15 years old. Ladehoff also faces charges of possession with the intent to distribute.
