A woman faces drug and child endangerment charges after Bridgeton Police said she made methamphetamine at her home in Bridgeton.
Janice L. Williams, 39, now of the 3900 block of Jane in St. Ann, was charged Dec. 5 with first-degree trafficking in drugs, first-degree child endangerment, manufacturing meth, possessing chemicals with the intent to make a controlled substance and possession of drug-related items.
She was arrested Friday on the charges.
Bridgeton Police said officers went into the home in the 3900 block of Falcon Avenue in response to a disturbance on June 9, 2011. When officers entered the house, they smelled a strong chemical odor associated with cooking meth, according to a police report.

janice didnt have any kids under the age of 17 at the time and remember 27 other people were arrested also,they chose to use her picture only.No she shouldnt of been making meth[allegedly]if she was,before you judge her read all the articles on here,they all say allegedly made meth,so lets let a judge convict her before antone else,and janice was a good mother that made some mistakes[wich we all do] so why do you need to bring her mom into it?read the article and post your oppinion keep her family out of it and keep it moving until the end results are known.Then say whatever you want but i was always taught that only one person can judge ya in the end,so when did we as humans become that one person?

If you look at janice's picture you can clearly see she is on meth. She was not and has not been a good mother EVER. Her ex has full custody of her son and she has not paid a dime of child support since they divorced. She turned her own daughter into a drug addict. Her daughter has always been a little thief and liar. And she doesnt have her kids either. It's a shame that you support her Kim in making her bad decisions and I hope she stays in prison for a long time. Iv'e known them since Samantha was a baby. All she ever cared about was cheating on her husband and doing drugs. Remember, these are the kids that will be running our world. What a shame. People get off the dope and get a job, raise your kids right and quit making excuses for your bad desicions.
