A mother was arrested Monday on felony child cruelty charges after her 3-month-old child was allegedly found near narcotics, officials said.
On Monday around 6 p.m., deputies responded to a call for service on the 17000 block of Danielson Street in Canyon Country, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
When deputies arrived on scene, they found “various narcotics within proximity of her child, putting the child at risk,” Arriaga said.
Deputies arrested Evelyn Martinez, 26, from Canyon Country, on felony child cruelty and narcotics charges, as well as a misdemeanor charge of being in possession of drug paraphernalia, Arriaga added.
Martinez was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s jail with bail set at $60,000, according to arrest records.

You’ve got to be one of the most hateful, racist individuals on Gods earth.
In what way were JoJo’s remarks racist?? If you believe he is one of the most “racist Individuals on Gods earth” you must have an overwhelming amount of evidence to support your comment. Or are you just watering down the meaning of the word like all the other leftists?
M Keister: Glad this doesn’t happen in your Peter Pan World. Telling the truth/facts is a way to know who/what is causing the problems to stop it. Being Pollyanna only sweeps the truth/facts under the rug, excusing only helps bad behaviors! Wake up, not woke up to reality!
