Mother Arrested In Shelby On Drug Charges While Child In The Car
SHELBY, N.C. — It was supposed to be a routine checkpoint, designed to catch traffic violators on Wyke Road in Shelby, but instead police say they caught Alisha McEntyre with a marijuana cigar in the ash tray, a lot more drugs packaged to sell and her 18-month-old daughter in the back seat.
According to the police report, McEntyre was pulled over because she didn’t have her seatbelt fastened, but when the officer got there, he noticed a strong smell of marijuana.
The officer writes that when he questioned her about the smell and she told him, “I smoked a blunt earlier and that one was in the ashtray.”
Capt. Jeff Ledford said officers soon learned there was more than just a smoked cigar.
