Arizona Media Personality Parents Arrested For Giving 4-Month-Old Daughter Cocaine

According to the TucsonWeekly, the folks who usually REPORT the news have BECOME the news after some extremely irresponsible behavior…

Two members of Tucson’s local media scene have found themselves in a deeply troubling situation after taking their 4-month-old daughter to a local hospital, where cocaine was found the child’s system.

On Sunday, May 15 around 11 a.m., Somchai Lisaius, former crime reporter for KOLD News 13, and his wife, former KOLD reporter and local journalist Krystin Lisaius, took their child to the Oro Valley Hospital, after observing that the child was “wabbly,” had “became limp,” was “unable to wake up,” and that her “eyes were rolling” into the back of her head. Krystin Lisaius described the child as “ragdoll-like,” according to the police report from the Oro Valley Police Department.

Somchai Lisaius and Krystin Lisaius refused to allow hospital staff to perform a blood draw on the child. Sometime later, the parents left with the child against medical advice, but agreed to have her transferred to Banner University Medical Center for further evaluation. The child was transported to Diamond Children’s Hospital via a Golder Ranch Fire District ambulance. The parents were once again uncooperative and did not allow a toxicology screen on the child.

After previously denying the use of using cocaine, Krystin Lisaius admitted to using the drug by “snorting it” through her nose with Somchai Lisaius and a friend called “Thomas” on Saturday, May 14, at a barbecue they were hosting at their home. She also told a UMC social worker she had been breastfeeding the child. She stated that she didn’t think the baby would be affected after 12 hours had passed. She also refused all lab tests on the child except a heel blood stick, body scans and physical exams.

They knew good and damn well why their baby was ready to fall the f**k out…

During the course of investigation, Somchai Lisaius told OVPD detectives that on the same evening, he and his wife hosted a barbecue at their home for a birthday celebration, including family and friends. Somchai Lisaius eventually admitted that he used cocaine that night, and also used the drug “every six weeks or so.” He also said that he has witnessed his wife using cocaine since having their child.
