A woman from Georgia has been arrested and charged with leaving her four-year-old son in a car alongside meth and drug equipment while she broke into a house.
Theresa Jean Bice, 39, faces four felony counts, including for burglary, and for possession of drug-related objects, methamphetamine and tools for committing a crime, officials told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Authorities said officers found her son asleep near several bags of meth, a digital scale, and glass smoking paraphernalia.
Child neglect charges are likely to be added by the District Attorney’s Office when the case is fully reviewed.

Officials were unsure how long Bice was in the house, but found a basket of DVDs and children’s toys inside.
Bice was caught by a deputy as she was leaving the house in Cumming, Georgia, through a back window.
She was arrested for shoplifting in April and put on probation at the time of last week’s arrest, authorities told the Forsyth County News.
Bice was blessed with good looks and a loving husband before a drug habit appeared to take its toll. The burglary took place in the town of Cumming, Georgia
