(Ankeny, IA) — A man of Ankeny, Iowa, faces charges of child endangerment and domestic abuse with bodily injury after a 1-year-old boy tested positive for cocaine. Court documents reveal that the boy’s mother found a bag with a white substance in his mouth, leading to a confrontation with Jivonte Johnson, who allegedly brought the cocaine to the residence. Johnson attempted to prevent the mother from calling 911, resulting in a fight where the mother sustained minor injuries. The child was taken to the hospital, but doctors assured that the drug exposure should not have lasting effects. Johnson, held on a 25 thousand dollar bond, will appear in court next month.
