SOUTH SALT LAKE — A 5-year-old boy tested positive for cocaine after a woman admitted she used the boy's urine to pass a drug test and failed.

A 54-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman now face felony charges in connection with the incident.

In February, a woman called the Department of Child and Family Services and said she "knew of a mother and father who were using both cocaine and heroin in front of their child," according to charges filed Monday in 3rd District Court.

The woman said she "borrowed" the 5-year-old's urine to pass a drug test, but the urine came back positive for cocaine, according to court documents. Police later tested the boy's hair and urine — both came back positive for cocaine, according to the charges.

The man and woman have been charged with clandestine laboratory endangerment of a child, a third-degree felony.
