Drug Dealer Gave Her 4-Year-Old Son Pot Brownie: Police

PORT JEFFERSON, NY – A 29-year-old Long Island woman is accused of giving her 4-year-old son a brownie that contained marijuana, police said.

Sydney Marquez was arrested late Thursday night after the New York State Police Troop L Narcotics Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant at her Port Jefferson home.

Marquez was found to be in possession of marijuana, concentrated cannabis, marijuana brownies, psilocybin mushrooms, along with packaging/shipping materials, books and records detailing her alleged drug dealing business, police said.

When police arrived, Marquez was in the company of friends in the kitchen while her 4-year-old son was sleeping in the basement, police said.

Her son was taken to the hospital and later released to a family member.

State Police had initially planned to execute a search warrant Friday night during a "Good Vibes 420 Party" that Marquez had advertised on Facebook, but once police learned that Marquez had given her son a pot brownie, the warrant was executed ahead of schedule, Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini said during a press conference Friday afternoon.

Marquez faces felony charges of second degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and fourth degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.

She is also charged with fourth degree criminal sale of marijuana, seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and first degree unlawfully dealing with a child. Those are all misdemeanor charges.

On April 4, Marquez sold a quantity of psilocybin to an undercover law enforcement officer, Sini said.

On April 16, State Police conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle on the Sagtikos Parkway northbound in Bay Shore. Marquez, a passenger in the car, was found to be in possession of three clear plastic bags containing marijuana as well as 34 addressed packages containing illicit substances, Sini said.

A subsequent investigation by the Narcotics Enforcement Unit revealed that Marquez was using a Facebook page under the name “Good Vibez Only” to sell mushrooms, marijuana and THC products through the mail, Sini said.

Marquez was arraigned Friday. She is being held on $205,000 cash bail or $410,000 bond.
