Latoya Daunielle Tezino
Woman tries to sell dead mother’s Valium pills on Craigslist, police say:
I normally don’t like to talk about my personal life on this blog but I thought it would germane to this post.
After a long illness my mom recently passed away. In the last week of her life she was in a comatose state and under hospice care at home. The hospice provided us with what is known as a comfort pack. Basically it contained some seriously potent drugs that would help keep mom as comfortable as possible in her last days.
After mom passed my brother and I joked around that we could make some money by selling the leftovers from the comfort pack but it was just that, a joke. What we really did was dispose of the drugs as quickly as possible.
Apparently there are people who do hold on to the drugs after a family member passes. For example take 26-year-old Latoya Daunielle Tezino of Charlotte, North Carolina. She was recently arrested for allegedly attempting to sell 45 Valium pills, that belonged to her deceased mother, on craigslist.
Now after a family member dies there is often a financial burden on the family due to the cost of the funeral. If Tezino was trying to sell the pills to relieve some of that burden I might have taken a pass on that story, not that wopuld excuse her actions. However according to police she tried selling the pills in order to buy a birthday gift for her nephew. I wonder if her nephew would want a gift that was purchased with illegal drug money.
