A North Carolina woman was charged with child abuse on Wednesday after her two-year-old daughter tested positive for cocaine.
Alamance County Sheriff's Office arrested 32-year-old Tammara Gail Overman following a five-month-long investigation, according to the Burlington Times-News.
Police said they were waiting on the child's medical records before they were able to arrest Overman.

Randy Jones, the public information officer for the sheriff's office, told the newspaper that Amber Learena Faircloth and Lacy Reid Lloyd Jr, were previously charged with misdemeanor child neglect as part of the investigation.
Faircloth and Lloyd shared a residence at 1711 Brown Lovell Lane, in Burlington, NC, with Overman and her three children. Both Faircloth and Lloyd are accused of neglecting children ages five and seven.
The sheriff's office began their investigation after receiving a report from the Department of Social Services in September, Jones told the Times-News.
But Overman's arrest was delayed because authorities were waiting on medical records for her child.
Overman was charged with felony intentional child abuse causing serious physical injury. She is being held at the Alamance County jail under a $25,000 bond.
