Miami Mother, Son Arrested After Found In Car With Cocaine, Marijuana, Kids

A Miami woman and her son were arrested Sunday after police say they were found with marijuana and cocaine in a car, along with two younger children in the back seat.

Ilis Quesada-Valdivia, 34, faces charges of child neglect, cocaine possession and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Quesada-Valdivia was allegedly arrested after a traffic stop near Southwest Eighth Street and Southwest 110th Avenue. Police said she let her boyfriend drive her Volkswagen Jetta "in a reckless manner, endangering and neglecting the lives" of her three children, ages 2, 4 and 18.

According to an arrest report, the two younger children were unrestrained in the back seat, and the oldest son, 18-year-old Toni Sifuentes, was sitting next to them with an open container of alcohol and a half-smoked "marijuana blunt cigarette."

Quesada-Valdivia told police that she knew the cocaine and marijuana were in the car "because I went with my boyfriend to buy it," the report said.

Sifuentes was also arrested on drug possession charges and having an open container of alcohol.
