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.
