Courtney Jording, 23, and her mother, Karen Gillespie, 43, were arrested last Wednesday in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. A witness called police after she allegedly saw Jordling inject her mother's arm, according to WPXI-TV.
Responding officers found Gillespie in the driver's seat, and Jording's 6-month-old baby was in the back seat of the car. Cops also found 41 stamped bags of heroin, (http://lancasteronline.com/news/local/police-boston-couple-revived-with-heroin-antidote-after-overdosing-with/article_9dfeecda-3f75-11e5-92e4-c3107b04af18.html)16 empty bags, four syringes and two spoons inside in the vehicle, according to LancasterOnline.com.
But police say that's not all that was wrong.
"The car seat was not secured (http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2015/08/06/2-arrested-for-shooting-up-heroin-with-baby-in-backseat-of-car/). It was just sitting in the back seat," Capt. Chad Zucco of the Greensburg Police Department told CBS Pittsburgh. "Further, the child had a wet diaper. [Officers] looked in the car to find diapers for the baby and there were none."
Gillespie and Jording were charged with criminal conspiracy, child endangerment, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to manufacture or deliver.
They were both taken to the Westmoreland County Prison on $10,000 straight bond. Gillespie remains behind bars. (http://apps.co.westmoreland.pa.us/prison/PrisonInmates/inmate.asp?BookNumber=2787-2015)
Jording's child is now being cared for by Gillespie's parents.
Robert Jording, Gillespie's father, told WTAE TV that his daughter has had a drug issue for a while.
"It's not the first time she was in trouble for drugs.

"She told me when she left yesterday that she was going to a doctor's appointment... But that was a bunch of crap. She didn't have a doctor's appointment."
