BURLINGTON, N.C. – A North Carolina mother has been charged after her 2-year-old daughter tested positive for cocaine, according to the Burlington Times-News.
Tammara Gail Overman, 32, of Burlington, faces a charge of felony intentional child abuse causing serious physical injury after being arrested Wednesday.
The toddler was also suffering from a severe, untreated rash on her groin, according to the paper.
The arrest comes after a monthlong investigation by the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities have not said how the child consumed the drug.
Overman was jailed in Alamance County under a $25,000 bond and had a court date on Thursday.
Two other suspects who shared the same house were charged with misdemeanor child neglect in connection to the investigation, the paper reported.
