MUNCIE, Ind.— A central Indiana woman has been arrested for allegedly giving alcohol to teenagers to pay them for babysitting her three children.
Thirty-year-old Lindsey R. Jones of Muncie faces preliminarily charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, neglect of a dependent and marijuana possession. She remained jailed Monday at the Delaware County Jail.
The Star Press reports that a 15-year-old girl told police that Jones gave her alcohol Thursday in exchange for the teen babysitting her three children -- ages 11, 7 and 3. The teen told officers she then invited five friends over to drink with her.
Police were dispatched to Jones' home after a neighbor reported possibly intoxicated juveniles at a nearby residence.
Jones' three children are now in the care of child-welfare officials.
