CINCINNATI — A woman and man were arrested after they were caught on surveillance video shooting up heroin in front of a young boy.
Lauren Story, 29, and an unidentified man were arrested Friday after footage surfaced showing the duo using heroin in an alley near Story’s son, WLWT reported.
The video helped police identify Story and arrest her. They did not recover any drugs at the time of arrest, but Story was carrying four syringes and a tie-off, the news station reported.

She entered a not guilty plea of child endangerment and drug-related charges. Story was ordered to have no contact with her son unless it’s approved by Job and Family Services. The boy was taken into custody and placed in the care of a relative.
“People have sympathy for people who use heroin but that sympathy ends when you’re doing it in front of your children,” Dave Wood, with the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office, said.
Story is currently held on bond, but could be released with an ankle monitor to go into treatment. She still owes the court 29 days on an earlier criminal trespassing conviction.
