Four Arrested Smoking Drugs With Baby In Apartment

Officers arrested four people Wednesday in Spokane Valley for smoking oxycodone in an apartment while a one-month-old baby was in the residence.
Wednesday morning officers arrested the baby's father and grandfather along with two others in a case where both a new and unborn baby were present while people in Benjamin Crocker-Beck's apartment were apparently doing drugs.
"The home was so full of smoke dunhill that they actually had to leave the doors open and vent the smoke out the window before they could perform their job and yet in the midst of all the that contamination was a one-month old baby," Spokane County Sheriff's Sergeant Dave Reagan said.

Authorities say they found several people smoking oxycodone while one of the suspects' infant was present.
"The abuse of these drugs are not only impacting these people but they are impacting their children," SGT. Reagan said.
Along with Crocker-Beck officers arrested three others at the apartment for possession including a pregnant woman. Officers say 25-year-old Samantha Cumpton, who is 10-weeks pregnant, admitted to smoking oxycodone right before they arrived.
Cumpton, who admitted in a jailhouse interview that she has used drugs in the past and been in jail, claimed she wasn't smoking.
"Police knocked on the door and arrested everyone for possession even though I had nothing on me," she said.
Cumpton says that there were people smoking and that the baby was in another room in the apartment, adding that she "was hanging out with the wrong people."
Officials say it is tough to deal with situations like this when kids and drugs are mixed together.
"It is incredibly frustrating with everyone involved with children that people would treat them this way but that is the power of addiction," SGT. Reagan said.
All four of the suspects arrested Wednesday were in court Thursday. One was later released with the other three are out on bond. The baby is safe and in the hands of CPS,
