Man Arrested For Allowing Three-Year-Old to Smoke What Police Say May Be Marijuana

NORTH LITTLE ROCK,Ark.--North Little Rock police have arrested a man after he was seen on a Facebook video allowing a child to smoke what was believed to be Marijuana.

Police identified the man as 17-year-old Lamel Lamont Yancy, also known as Man man.

According to authorities, he was seen in a recorded video on Facebook smoking what they described as suspected Marijuana in a vehicle in the 4000 block of East Broadway at Metro PCS.

Inside the vehicle was a three-year-old child.

The police report states that the child was unrestrained in the back seat of the car.

Police say Yancy proceeded to ask the child if he wanted to smoke the suspected Marijuana or 'hit the gas/blunt'.

The report states that Yancy handed the child the suspected Marijuana and the child put it in his mouth, but it was not lit.

Yancy then takes it back, lights it and begins to smoke it inside of the vehicle.

Authorities say he was recorded several times allowing the child to smoke the suspected Marijuana, and the child refers to it as weed.

The report says that Yancy states that the child is high on the video.

According to police, the child's mother gets in the back seat of the vehicle with the child while Yancy continues to smoke the suspected Marijuana.

North Little Rock police say he hands it to the child with the mother inside of the vehicle.

The mother objected, and police say that Yancy told the child that he would smoke with him later.

The report states that police conducted a follow-up and made contact with the mother, child, and victim.

Police state that they learned DHS had been to the residence and the child was taken to the hospital for a hair follicle analysis.

Yancy was charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Minor.
