A 5-year-old South Salt Lake boy tested positive for cocaine and opiates earlier this year after a woman admitted to authorities that she used the boy’s urine to try to pass a drug test, and failed.
The woman, posing as as a man, called the Department of Child and Family Services on Feb. 27 and said “he” knew a couple who were using cocaine and heroin in front of their child, court documents state.
The woman also said “he” borrowed the 5-year-old child’s urine in order to pass a drug test. The urine came back positive for cocaine, court documents state. Authorities later tested the child’s urine again, as well as his hair. Both tested positive for cocaine and opiates, court documents state.
A 42-year-old woman, not the caller, who lives near 70 E. Claybourne Ave., South Salt Lake, was charged in 3rd District Court on Friday with a third-degree felony charge of having a clandestine laboratory endangerment of child. The charge stems from activity that occurred around Dec. 1, 2007. A male codefendant is also listed on the charging documents.
