NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) — The mother of a 6-year-old who shot his teacher in Virginia could be jailed Thursday for failing drug tests while awaiting sentencing on federal weapons charges that she used marijuana while possessing a firearm.
A judge had set an October sentencing date and released Taylor on bond under the conditions that she submit to drug tests and receive addiction treatment.
But Taylor has twice tested positive for marijuana and once for cocaine, federal prosecutors wrote in a filing with the court this month.
She also missed two drug tests and two drug treatment sessions, they said.
And while they've been positive for marijuana, “the levels are decreasing and show that Ms. Taylor is abstaining from this drug,” Ellenson wrote.
