Sidney mom with .407 BAC arrested for child abuse

Posted: Updated:

A Sidney mom is arrested for leaving her five-year-old son unattended for hours while she was passed out drunk.

34-year-old Jessica Marino is charged with felony child abuse.

Police conducted a welfare check after receiving a report of Marino's child playing outside with no adult supervision.

After initial contact with the mother, she was disoriented and officers suspected she was intoxicated.

A preliminary breath test revealed she had a breath alcohol content of .407, more than five times the legal limit.

Court documents show that Marino had recently been released from an alcohol treatment program.
