Mom Lets Sons Sell Drugs, Police Say

A 41-year-old mother of two is accused of allowing her two teenaged sons to grow and sell marijuana from her home, investigators said.

Officiers executed a warrant at the house in conjunction with a drug task force partnership between the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and West Melbourne Police.

"There had been several complaints about the house," said BCSO Lt. Andrew Walters with the Special Investigations Unit.

Dawn Van Cise was charged with two counts of child neglect.

Walters said police found that both of Van Cise’s teenaged boys were already on misdemeanor probation for previous marijuana charges. Walters said both teens were in possession of pot and drug paraphernalia and the older boy, 17, was growing marijuana in his closet.

"She knew without a doubt that they were growing marijuana," Walters said, praising the community’s response and the inter-department partnership.

"Drug offenders don’t have boundaries," he said. "This partnership is vital."
