Raleigh police have arrested mother, Brianna Ashanti Lofton, after she was seen on video smoking pot with a 1-year-old.
Lofton, 20, is charged with two counts of felony child abuse, contributing to delinquency and possession of marijuana.
Police records state that the unnamed child was smoking what appears to be marijuana in the video that was recorded in either December of last year or January of 2018.
The ten-second clip, which was viewed by more than 1.5 million people on Facebook, shows a hand with a blunt place it into her 1-year-old daughter’s lips. Then, the child, that appears to be cooing, inhales and exhales the smoke.source
Police say thanks to concerned citizens, they later identified Lofton as the mother and arrested her while the baby was placed with Wake County Child Protective Services.
Thursday a Wake County judge set Lofton’s bond at $100,000 and ordered her to have no contact with her daughter.
