Description
Opinion OF THE COURT BY JUSTICE LEIBSON Connie Welch was arrested on November 7, 1989, when police, while executing a warrant at the home of a suspected drug dealer, found Welch in possession of oxycodone, a Schedule II narcotic, and syringes. Welch was under the influence of the oxycodone, having just injected some into her jugular vein. Because she was eight months pregnant when arrested, she was not taken into custody but simply given a date to appear in court. On December 1, 1989, Welch gave birth to a son. Because Welch informed the attending physician of her continued drug dependency, even after arrest, he admitted the baby to the neonatal intensive care unit to be observed for neonatal abstinence syndrome. The toxicology report was negative for oxycodone, but positive for nicotine and caffeine.
