A St. Albans woman is in jail after she was accused of snorting methamphetamine in front of her children.
Heather Louann Stewart, 40, is charged with child neglect with serious injury.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court, a Kanawha sheriff's deputy was dispatched to a home on Browns Creek Road in St. Albans. Deputies found multiple pipes used to smoke meth inside the home.
Deputies said Stewart told them she had snorted meth earlier Monday in front of her children, who are all under the age of 7. A deputy also found marijuana on Stewart.
Sewer lines were also found running out of the home into the backyard, according to the complaint. Deputies said in the complaint that the inside of the home smelled of sewage.
Stewart was taken to the South Central Regional Jail. A magistrate set bond at $5,000.
