Mom arrested after deputies find 2 kilos of cocaine in backpack worn by her 3-year-old

Tierra Tocorra Hill was arrested and charged with charged with trafficking cocaine, second-degree possession of marijuana, tampering with physical evidence and four counts of chemical endangerment of a child.

An Alabama mother faced arrest after Mobile County Sheriff deputies discovered two kilos of cocaine concealed within her 3-year-old child's blue Nike backpack.

Tierra Tocorra Hill, aged 35, was taken into custody following the recovery of narcotics worth $450,000 and several firearms during searches conducted in her car and residence.

Police found three kilograms of cocaine inside two separate bags belonging to the mother's children.

The narcotics unit had received a tip regarding large quantities of drugs present in the mother's home, where she lived with her four children aged 3, 8, 10, and 15, prompting surveillance operations by law enforcement officials.

Hill faced charges including trafficking cocaine, second-degree possession of marijuana, tampering with physical evidence, and four counts of chemical endangerment of a child. The arrest took place following a traffic stop when deputies discovered approximately 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, a firearm, and a minor quantity of marijuana in her vehicle.

Police searched Hill's vehicle and allegedly found 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, a handgun and a small amount of marijuana

However, the startling discovery didn't end there. A subsequent search warrant was executed at Hill's residence, revealing additional incriminating evidence.

Upon entering the home, deputies encountered the toddler with the blue backpack mentioned earlier. An inspection of the bag led to the discovery of an additional 2 kilograms of cocaine concealed within.

Sheriff Paul Burch remarked on the egregious nature of the situation, highlighting the potential danger posed to the child: "It’s safe to say that the 3-year-old probably did not put the drugs in the backpack. Each kilo is 2.2 pounds and they commonly refer to that as a brick, so you got two bricks in the backpack being worn by a three-year-old."

The drugs and guns were easily accessible to the kids

Further searches within the residence unveiled another kilogram of cocaine along with two handguns concealed in another backpack. Of significant concern was the accessibility of these illegal substances and firearms to the children who were left unattended in the home at the time of the search.

Sheriff Burch expressed dismay at Hill's actions, categorizing them as deliberate rather than mere poor judgment: "Say making a poor decision, I think that’s giving too much credit. I think she made a deliberate decision. I think she made a deliberate decision to ride around with substantial amounts of drugs and a firearm in her car and leave her children home unintended with even more cocaine and more drugs, so that’s a deliberate action, not a poor decision."
