A Sulphur mother was arrested for negligent homicide after her 8-month-old son died.

Authorities say Lacey Blount, 26, admitted to using methamphetamine and marijuana while caring for the baby.

She also told detectives she tried to hide the drugs in the home while deputies were distracted attempting to perform life-saving measures on the baby, according to Kim Myers, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call of the 8-month-old not breathing on Jan. 23. The baby was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Detectives found marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in the home.

The 8-month-old's cause of death was determined to be positional asphyxia, which is the child sleeping in the same bed as the parent at too young of an age.

Blount was booked into Calcasieu Correctional Center on counts of negligent homicide, possession of CDS I, possession of CDS II, obstruction of justice, and four counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Co-sleeping is a really bad idea if you tend to pass out from drugs or alcohol. At 8 months that baby was old enough to struggle and cry but she never noticed.
