The Brief

LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles woman was charged this week with trying to sneak fentanyl into a youth facility where her child was a resident.

What we know:

Jeny Morenoparra is facing three drug-related felonies , including bringing an illegal substance in a jail facility, and employing a minor to sell or carry a narcotic, according to the LA County District Attorney's Office.

The backstory:

The alleged incident happened back in 2023. Morenoparra came to the Barry J. Nidorf Youth Facility to visit her child. While there, an officer found that she had 30 pills on her, which tested positive for fentanyl, the DA's office said.

She was arrested and later released without charges. Back in May, however, District Attorney Nathan Hochman ordered that the case be reviewed.
