Cocaine: Five year-old boy tests positive

A five-year-old US boy must have been snorting cocaine? Well… the boy tested positive for cocaine after his parents, Marco and Sandy Cuevas, were arrested on a drug charge. They were arrested on Friday after police stopped their vehicle in Moorpark, southern California.

Their 5-year-old son was found in the back seat of the car with about 250grams of cocaine.

Ventura County Sheriff’s office said while Marco Cuevas also had several ounces of cocaine on him, his wife was in possession of more than $10,000 suspected to be drug proceeds.

Hundreds of prescription-drug pills, several pounds of marijuana and $75,000 in cash were later found at the couple's home. About 3,000 rounds of ammunition and 16 guns were also discovered.

The couple is now accused of conspiracy to sell cocaine, possession of cocaine for sale, and child endangerment.

Marco Cuevas is suspected of distributing an influx of cocaine over the summer among teenagers and young adults in the area.

SkyNews reports that he is currently in custody in lieu of $1m bail, though his wife was able to obtain bail and is awaiting a court date.
