Perry Police arrest woman for allowing her child to eat cannabis brownie
PERRY, N.Y. (WROC) – A Perry man was arrested after officers with the Perry Police Department received reports of a domestic incident in Perry on Covington Street last month. Officers say the incident took place during a party between 44-year-old Bobbie Ellis, 444, a man, and a child the two have in common.
During the investigation, officers say Ellis provided and allowed her child, who's a minor, to consume a cannabis brownie and that Ellis was growing her own cannabis and 'had more plants than what is allowed by New York State Law governing the private ownership, cultivating, and harvesting of cannabis for private consumption.'
Officers say when Ellis arrived to Perry Village Court for another matter on June 10, she was taken into custody and charged with endangering the welfare of a child for providing and allowing her child to consume a cannabis brownie. Officers also charged Ellis with cultivating more than six mature cannabis plants and six immature cannabis plants for a total of 12 plants. While investigating officers learned Ellis was in possession of 21 immature cannabis plants which were seized and disposed of by the Perry Police Department.
Ellis was processed by Perry Police and returned to Perry Village Court where she was arraigned and released on her own recognizance.

Ex-officer barred after accessing personal data
A police officer has been barred from serving again after covertly recording confidential information. Joshua Ellis, who has since resigned from Leicestershire Police, was found to have deliberately and secretly made six audio recordings on his personal phone, as well as taking pictures on the same device during a drugs raid, a misconduct hearing found. The recordings, made between April and October 2020, captured the personal details of his colleagues and members of the public, including names and addresses, and details concerning criminal offences. A panel heard his colleagues said the former officer had "breached their trust by recording them in secret". Mr Ellis admitted to secretly making four recordings and taking photos without telling colleagues. He denied another three instances were done knowingly, with two of those ruled intentional by hearing chairman Steven Cooper, and the third accidental. Mr Cooper accepted Mr Ellis required reasonable adjustments, but said this did not make the use of his personal phone "the correct course of action". He added the former officer had chosen "not to use those devices that were provided and recommended to him" and instead used one that was "insecure and had it been lost, would have contained data that was extremely sensitive". His actions were "clearly in breach of data protection rules" and he should have known this as he had only completed training on this a little more than two months before, the panel chairman added. Mr Cooper ruled that Mr Ellis's behaviour, while not intended to cause harm to his colleagues or the police, was "inappropriate and inexplicable". He added that Mr Ellis should have "foreseen the risk of harm by storing personal and operational data on his personal phone". Follow BBC Leicester on Facebook, on X, or on Instagram.

Family Reunification Celebration: Mothers tell their triumphant stories
JACKSON COUNTY, Fla (WMBB) – Celebrations continue around the Panhandle in honor of National Family Reunification Month. Friday's celebration, on June 13, highlighted Jackson County families that have been brought together again. 'They told me they were trying to terminate my rights and they were going to adopt my children out and my father would get them and I would have no more contact,' Mother Jessica Bailey said. Parents who once had their children taken away from them by the court stood proudly before their community Friday, bravely sharing their stories. DeFuniak Springs man arrested on drug-related charges after traffic stop 'It was devastating because, you know, even though I had turned my life around and started getting better, I knew there was also consequences for the bad decisions I had made prior,' Bailey said. Bailey, a mother of five, worked the program, gave her life to God, and eventually got the good news that her family could be a strong unit once again. In instances where addiction and trauma once held firm grips over these parents, on Friday, parents held firm grips over their futures. 'If you know, my story can inspire others, then that's just what it's meant to do. You know, I've been through a lot and I'm only 24, so I feel like I just want to share my story and I can help somebody one day,' Mother Emma Ellis said. Ellis bravely told her story, a story of abandonment, a story where she survived being raped not once, but three times before the age of 21. She said her life experiences turned to addiction when she found freedom in a drug. Eventually, her daughter Amyah was removed from her care in 2022. Over the years, Ellis would go through more than just a case plan before getting her daughter back. She would end up in jail for going to a detox in Bay County instead of Jackson County, breaking her probation. And she would bring new life into the world again. 'I had found out I was pregnant when I got released from jail on February 8, 2023, six months of house arrest, five years probation, I lived two doors down from my drug dealer, but I never went. I entered rehab, not long after, I was at the nine-month mark of my case plan, and four months clean,' Ellis explained. Ellis graduated from rehab, but a happy ending still wasn't in sight. 'I was terrified. I thought I had done too much damage that no amount of healing for the race the past. But I finished my case plan. I done everything they asked and more. And when the judge looked at me, Judge Garcia, she didn't just she didn't just see who I'd been. She had saw who I'd become. They could not terminate my rights. I proved my caseworker wrong,' Ellis continued. Judge Garcia publicly commended each of the families, acknowledging that dependency court is never an easy place to be. Walton County debates beach enforcement as customary use bill awaits signature Garcia tasked the success stories to look for opportunities where they can set examples for other struggling parents.
