Kentucky College Professor, Crack Cocaine, and a Baby

(Morehead, Kentucky) A 35-year-old assistant professor of government at Morehead State University, Noelle N'Diaye, was arrested last Sunday for child endangerment after her two-month-old daughter tested positive for cocaine.

According to Morehead City Police Capt. Mike Adams, N'Diaye was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment.

N'Diaye's husband had called police on Saturday night to say he could not locate her or his daughter. Early Sunday, police received a call of a woman who had locked herself out of her car at an Interstate 64 rest area with her daughter inside. The woman turned out to be N'Diaye, Adams said, and she was returned home.

N'Diaye's husband, Ibrahim N'Diaye, who also teaches at Morehead State, called police later and reported that his wife had allegedly smoked crack cocaine in the car with their daughter present.

Reportedly, N'Diaye told investigators that she drove to Charleston, WV, to buy crack cocaine and she smoked it in the car with her daughter present.

N'Diaye was booked into custody at the Montgomery County Regional Jail on $10,000 full-cash bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 19th.

Crack-addicted college government professor? Not necessarily newsworthy. However, crack-addicted college government professor smoking around a kid? Big news.
