Officers arrested Briana Wilkins, 20, of Nashville, on Tuesday afternoon after finding crack cocaine in her child's lunchbox.
Metro Police responded to 1029 Capital Point in response to a burglary in progress and found the back door kicked in. According to police records, while clearing the kitchen to make sure no suspects were in the residence or anyone hurt, an officer observed a set of digital scales with white residue on them, as well as a glass beaker with residue.
A further search was conducted after getting a warrant, and officers discovered two baggies of almost 17 grams of drugs in a lunchbox that tested positive for cocaine base.
Wilkins admitted to police that she knew crack cocaine was being cooked in her apartment around her 1-year-old child. She is being held on $75,000 bond for manufacturing and possession with intent to sell cocaine and child endangerment.

TBI: Women more likely family violence victims
June 20, 2013 08:10 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A new study of domestic violence in Tennessee last year found women were nearly two times more likely to be victimized than men and children were the victims in 16 percent of all family violence cases.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation put out a report this week analyzing crime statistics from law enforcement agencies across the state. Their findings show that nearly 15 percent of all crimes reported were domestic in nature.
The study looked at the relationships between victims and offenders as well as the influence of drugs and alcohol on family violence. The study found that more than 17 percent of family violence involves drugs or alcohol, with alcohol being the most common.
