Another case of a mother on a cocaine binge with her child in tow. Police in the Tampa Bay area report that Sharise Johnson was charged with one count of child neglect. She is being held on $20,000 bail.

Also arrested was Jason Barrington, 30, who also was with the child during the cocaine binge. According to the arrest affidavit, June 9th the 10 week old baby was taken to All Childrens Hospital and diagnosed with cocaine in his system.

Evidently family members called authorities, saying they hadn’t seen Johnson for a while, and when police arrived at the family’s home, Johnson showed up with the child.

Johnson and Barrington both admitted using crack while the infant was in their care, the affidavit said.
