A woman was caught having left her 5-year-old son on the floor of her car, covered in a towel in 90 degree heat, while she when shopping
Mary Amber Moore, 32, was inside a Kmart Satuday night when a passerby saw a young boy, draped in a towel, crying in a parked car with the windows rolled up.
Police arrived and found the car unlocked. The boy said his mother had told him to hid on the floor of the vehicle, covered, so no one would see him.
Police searched the Covington, Georgia Kmart. But when they found Moore, she was without identification.
She told the officers her license was in the car, in a pink bag.
When police looked in the bag, they say they found the ID along with a bottle of various prescription pills.
Moore, reports Covington News, was prescribed the Adderrall in the bottle, a stimulant medication commonly prescribed to children suffering from attention deficit disorder.
She claimed the other pills of varying colors and shapes, were also Adderrall but they just looked different.
At some point, police placed the bottle of pills atop the car.
Moore reportedly somehow grabbed the pills and dumped them all into her mouth before police could stop her.
They were unable to stop her from swallowing some of the pills.
Moore claimed she swallowed the pills because she was fearful of being charged with putting them in the wrong bottle.
Moore was arrested and taken to an area hospital after swallowing an unknown number of different drugs.
The suspect was subsequently discharged and booked on charges of contributing to the depravation of a minor, obstruction of an officer and tampering with evidence.The boy has now been placed with a family member.
