(PORTLAND, Ore. ) - Portland Police arrested a Portland woman Friday afternoon after an alert passerby saw her shooting up heroin with a child inside the car as well.

Portland Police spokesman Stg. Pete Simpson says an officer was flagged down at Southwest 4th Avenue and Harrison Street, after someone spotted the woman inside a parked car shooting up drugs with a child inside.

When the officer approached the car, they observed the woman, identified as 27-year-old Adrianna Marie Vandehey, was injecting herself with heroin in her left arm, while a 7-year-old child was seated in the rear of the vehicle.

Vandehey was arrested on charges of Possession of Heroin and Reckless Endangerment. The child, in good health, was taken into protective custody and placed in the custody of other family members, Simpson said.
