Delaware Mom Charged After Daughter Takes Heroin to School

(Selbyville, Delaware) A 30-year-old local mother, Ashley Tull, faces charges after her 4-year-old daughter took heroin packets to school.

Tull faces counts of maintaining a drug property and endangering the welfare of a child.

The white powdery substance, which was still enclosed in the bags, was removed by the teachers and immediately taken to the Selbyville Police Department where it was determined to be heroin.

Police say a 4-year-old girl unknowingly brought the small bags of heroin into the childcare in a backpack that her mother gave her after hers had become ruined by the family pet sometime in the night.

Upon thinking the packets were candy, she began passing them out to her classmates.

Tull was booked and released on $6,000 bond.
