Jamie Michelle Campbell, 26, was “too high to be able to care for herself” from illegally obtained prescription painkillers, according to Clearwater police. But she was taking care of a two-year-old. She lost her balance and fell to the ground, police said, leaving the toddler “unattended at night” alongside a busy Clearwater road at night, naked from the waist down in the cold. Witnesses found the child with no diaper, pants, shoes or socks. The outside temperature at the time was a chilly 54 degrees. It is unclear how long the tot was outside in the cold — and Campbell’s

relationship to the child. As a female officer watched her take a urine test in the bathroom, police said, Campbell tried to wrap some drugs in toilet paper and throw them into the toilet. But the officer retrieved the wad and found drugs, reports the St. Petersburg Times They also found four more narcotic painkillers and a muscle relaxant inside the police cruiser that she rode in. May she land in a cold, cold cell. Photo: Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office More FloriDUH
