NEWARK— A second person is charged with giving a toddler marijuana.
According to federal court records, a videotape shows 18-year-old Melvin Blevins of Pataskala in central Ohio holding a marijuana pipe to the mouth of the child, who turns 2 this month.
Authorities learned of the tape after a Columbus pawn shop found it in a camcorder.
Earlier this month, 16-year-old Angel Dailey pleaded not guilty to charges of corrupting and endangering the child. Police say Dailey was holding the toddler, who can be seen on the video squirming on a couch to avoid the pipe.
Blevins was indicted last month in a drug bust that police said included more than $3 million in cash and more than a ton of marijuana.
A message seeking comment was left Tuesday for Blevins’ attorney, Michael Siewert.
