Woman Arrested, Charged Under Leandra’s Law

A Selden woman was arrested for DWAI with her child inside the car, Suffolk County police said.  Police had been told by a 26-year-old woman, standing in front of a Walgreens, she was waiting for someone to sell her Suboxone.  The Selden woman was arrested after she pulled up to the 26-year-old and it was determined that she was the seller of the Suboxone and under the influence of drugs.

Because she had her 4-year-old son in the car, police said, she was charged with aggravated DWAI with a child, a felony under Leandra's Law and endangering the welfare of a child.  She was also charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana, police said.
