An Iowa woman has been placed on five years supervised probation for pleading guilty to first-degree endangering the welfare of a child for using controlled substances in the presence of her two young daughters while staying at a Jefferson City motel in March.
Tiara Rojas, 25, was also charged with possession of a controlled substance.
A Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statement shows the incident occurred at America's Best Value Inn on Jefferson Street.
Authorities had been called to the hotel for an overdose.
Rojas' former husband was found unresponsive and was taken to Capital Region Medical Center, where he later died of an apparent narcotic overdose.
Officers questioned Rojas, who admitted she and her former husband were using marijuana and K-2.
She also said her former husband snorted cocaine, which she smoked.
A search of the hotel room turned up a white powdery substance, packages believed to be K-2 and a rolled up $1 dollar bill with powder residue.
The children were turned over to the Cole County Children's Division.
