Mother to serve 10 days for meth use around kids

A mother who admitted smoking meth around her young children will serve 10 days behind bars and will be under the close scrutiny of the Department of Human Services.
The defendant, Sheena Danielle Jones, 24, entered a guilty plea to the charge of misdemeanor child neglect and was ordered by General Sessions Judge Larry Ross to serve 10 days of an 11-month, 29-day sentence. She must also submit to random drug testing and must cooperate with DCS.
The charges were leveled as result of a DCS referral which brought police to her home. During their visit, police reported finding drug paraphernalia including straws with white residue and a box smelling of marijuana.
‘Ms. Jones admitted to smoking meth while her two young children, ages 2 and 4, were in the home,’ wrote McMinnville Police Lt. Chuck Taylor concerning the defendant’s confession to the crime. ‘She admits to doing meth for two months and allowing other adults to be around her children while they were under the influence.’
