ALFRED, Maine — A mother, her husband and their son all were arrested Sunday after an officer spotted the mother passing her son drugs during a jail visit, police say.
Lisa Croteau, 45, of Arundel was visiting her son Joshua in York County Jail on Sunday when an officer saw her pass something to her son, who then tucked the item in his shirt, according to Maj. William King of the York County Sheriff’s Office.
A search of the younger Croteau turned up a marijuana cigarette, Suboxone and drug paraphernalia, according to King.
When police went to inform Marc Croteau, who was in the parking lot, that his wife had been arrested, they found a small amount of marijuana in his car.
Lisa and Joshua Croteau were charged with the Class C felony of trafficking in prison contraband, and Lisa Croteau was released later Sunday after posting $1,000 bail. Marc Croteau, 46, of Saco was charged with possession of a usable amount of marijuana and for violating conditions of release. Details on his earlier conviction weren’t immediately available.
Contact visits in jail are “a systemic problem in any custodial situation,” King told the Bangor Daily News. “That’s why we have monitoring of the visits.”
DUH!
Aawwww……….family venture gone sour. Momma was just bringing some goodies from home for Jr! And what’s with these kids SMILING for their mugshots??
What happened to cookies?
Naaaa….can’t do that……might be “something” in them! :P
Orange looks good on this family.
I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!!!!!!!!
They went to visit their son and would up having a family vacation
They were just trying to keep the boy calm. They don’t want him to get upset and start talking too much.
What a great family. The parents are really helping their kid and setting a great example.
No wonder that kid’s in jail.
Its a mother and child reunion , only a dumb move away ! Sing it with me !
Best post ever, man
Judge will say I’m sorry .Suspended sentence
Whatever happened to a turkey sandwich and a banana?
Well, the kid learned it from somewhere. Apparently Dad already had charges against him for something if he violated those conditions. That might be why he had Mom pass the dope. Maybe he and sonny can share a cell, catch up on old times.
….
Family reunion?
No one can be this stupid. Maybe the family was looking for a bed and breakfast !
Family Harmony!
I guess a cake with a hacksaw blade in it was too much trouble…….
On the next Dr. Phil……..
You mean Jerry Springer!
Seems like this article sums up a lot of the problems with parents today.
I hear the family is holding a bake sale for bail money. Brownies anyone?
Dumb move Mom and Dad. Now junior will be in jail longer and so will Dad. Hope they can be roomies. They can have quality time they didn’t have when he was younger.
Pot is a non crime. It should be legal. The state can butt out. Mickey Dee’s does more harm than pot and it is legal.
Have pot is one thing they are trying to legalize it but she was also brought in suboxine which is illegal
The new typical American family!!
Losers~
How is that mother being charged with trafficking prescription medication INTO a jail and only gets a class C. Felony but any other ordinary joe blow that allegedly gets trafficking of one or two pills get class a aggravated trafficking or class b unlawful trafficking for a person who has no record!!! if you think I don’t know what I’m talking about read police beat and court news articles on this site!!!!! They must have money or political status is all I can say
