WACO, Texas — More details were discovered in an affidavit concerning 24-year-old Nichole Ann Green, who was arrested and charged with murder and endangering a child on Tuesday, Dec. 26.
According to the affidavit, on Oct. 12, officers from the Waco Police Department responded to the report of a dead child at 920 Camp Drive #A.
Police say the 8-month-old child was found unresponsive in bed with her mother, Green.
According to police, officers searched the home with a K9 unit and found signs of drug use and sale inside. Police say they found packaging materials, a scale and hiding boxes that are commonly used by drug users to evade detection.
The affidavit states that officers were alerted by confidential informants shortly after the child's death to notify them that they should search for methamphetamine since Green was suspected of possessing ounces of it at the time.
According to the affidavit, Green has a known history of drug abuse, including a car crash while high on methamphetamine.
An autopsy was ordered for the child since there was a lack of evidence to determine the cause of death.
According to the affidavit, the cause of death was ruled accidental from the toxic effects of methamphetamine in the infant's blood.
Green was reportedly taken into custody without incident.
