By Amie Cato-Remer Editor 

A Muldrow woman is scheduled for a June felony disposition docket in Sequoyah County District Court after being charged with felony child neglect in April.

A Muldrow woman is scheduled for a June felony disposition docket in Sequoyah County District Court after being charged with felony child neglect in April.

Jacksie B. Arrant, 26, was charged after allegedly exposing three children under the age of 10 to THC. She received a $5,000 bond and will appear before Associate District Judge Kyle Waters at 9 a.m. on June 28.

According to the affidavit in the case, Sequoyah County Sheriff’s investigator Cindy Smith said she received a report from Deputy Roger Johnson after he was dispatched to the Roland Police Department in January after they received a call about a minor child “not acting right.”

The reporting party stated one child was staggering and their speech was slurred, while another child was reported to have a swollen face. The reporting party said they contacted Department of Human Services and was told to take the children to a hospital for treatment, according to the affidavit.

The reporting party said they took the two children and a third child to the hospital to be checked out and was told they all tested positive for THC. The reporting party said they then contacted the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office and filed a report.

According to the affidavit, emergency room records state the children’s final diagnosis to be “poisoning by cannabis of undermined intent, initial encounter.” The children were released to a family member and told to follow up with their primary care physician.

Smith and Arrant met at the Sheriff’s Office a few days later, where Arrant told her everyone in the home alleged one of the children looked like they were under the influence of something. Arrant said the children had not had a nap and were just very tired, according to the affidavit. .

District Attorney Jack Thorp said the crime is punishable by imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections not exceeding life imprisonment, or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000, or both fine and imprisonment.
