A Susquehanna County woman who snorted drugs and then passed out while letting her then 1-year-old child alone in a Carbon County park, entered a guilty plea in the county court on Thursday.

Michelle Pellew, 28, of Montrose, pleaded to one count of endangering the welfare of a child before Judge Steven R. Serfass.The incident occurred on Aug. 31, 2015, at the Lehighton grove/playground along Iron Street. At 4:55 p.m., borough police were dispatched to the area after the county communications center received a call from a man who said a young child was left alone in the park while a female was lying on the ground unresponsive.When police arrived, they found Pellew unconscious. She did not immediately respond to police when they tried to wake her up. An area resident who was at the playground with his grandchildren was the one who called police. He told officers the young child was left alone and playing near a sliding board and almost fell about 5 to 6 feet from it. He said he saw the woman he believed to be the child's mother, lying on the ground, apparently asleep.Police called for an ambulance. As medical personnel were treating Pellew for a drug overdose, she woke up. She told police she came to the playground area and purchased five packs of heroin. She said she snorted two packs and passed out. She admitted leaving her child unattended and didn't know what was going on with him.At the request of her attorney, Matthew Rapa, Serfass deferred sentencing and ordered the adult probation office to prepare a presentence investigation report.Rapa said his client has done "some good things" since the incident and he wanted all it detailed in the investigation report.
