A Laurel woman is behind bars on child abuse charges, according to the
Jones County Sheriff’s Office.

According to a release, Totoro Evans, 34, of Laurel, has been taken into custody on a charge of Felony Child Abuse.

JCSD Investigator Sgt. J.D. Carter received a referral report from Child Protective Services regarding Evans’ infant daughter, who tested positive
for methamphetamine and amphetamine following birth.

Carter obtained an arrest warrant for Evans based on that CPS report,
along with evidence from medical testing of the infant.

“We work closely with CPS on incidents where newborn infants are testing positive for illegal narcotics. This case is the third one that CPS has
brought to us in the past two weeks – all three cases resulted in the
arrests of the three mothers ,” said Carter.

“We have zero tolerance for those mothers who are using illegal narcotics during pregnancy and bringing children into the world addicted to these dangerous and potentially deadly drugs or using illegal narcotics and
allowing their children to gain access to these drugs,” said Jones County Sheriff Joe Berlin.

Evans is currently incarcerated at the Jones County Adult Detention
Facility pending her initial appearance in Jones County Justice Court.
