2-Year-Old Gets Sick from Cocaine

A woman will spend nearly three years in prison for making a 2-year-old boy sick with secondhand smoke from crack cocaine. Forty-five-year-old Mary Lou Makley of Beaver pleaded guilty to simple assault in the secondhand smoke case, plus unrelated theft and forgery charges. Police say Makley had the mother's permission to take the boy shopping when she stopped at a friend's house in Aliquippa and smoked crack near the boy. Police say the boy's mother took him to the hospital when he complained of stomach pains. His blood tested positive for cocaine. The boy has recovered.
