TACOMA, WA (KTRK) --
Prosecutors say a Pierce County woman has been charged with third-degree assault of a child after her 13-month-old son drank out of a sippy cup that had been converted into a bong for smoking meth.
ABC affiliate KOMO-TV reports court documents say 26-year-old Amber Alline Ingersoll dropped her son at the home of his grandmother on Oct. 17, along with a diaper bag that contained a meth-contaminated sippy cup.
After the boy drank from the cup, his grandmother noticed he could not stand up and appeared to be sick. The grandmother, a former meth addict, said she recognized the sippy cup was a homemade bong. She took him to a hospital where the boy tested positive for methamphetamine.
Court documents say Ingersoll initially tried to blame the boy's grandmother, but officers found no meth in her home. Ingersoll later admitted to leaving the sippy cup in the diaper bag, telling officers there was water in the bong and she was planning to smoke out of it later.
Ingersoll was then charged with third-degree assault of a child.
