Reckless driver found with child, marijuana plant in backseat

A call goes out about a reckless driver Thursday evening.

So, Glenpool police say they weren't expecting to find a marijuana plant sitting next to a seven-year-old boy when they pulled the vehicle over.

The incident happened around 8 p.m. when a driver calls police about a reckless driver.  Officers were able to find the vehicle a short time later traveling Southbound on Hwy 75.

Police say the officer saw the plant as he was approaching the vehicle.  So, he asked Connie Navarrette to roll down the backseat window.

The officer once again saw the plant and the child was sitting nearby.

Navarrette was taken into custody for speeding and cultivating marijuana.  The suspect told police she wanted to see if the plant would grow.

She's currently in the Tulsa County Jail.
