During the interview on June 9, 2026, Wyatt reportedly admitted she had used methamphetamine in the presence of a child in her home. Investigators say a positive drug test and further investigation determined the juvenile had been exposed to a controlled substance.
Wyatt was charged with felony exposing a child to a controlled substance and was given a $75,000 secured bond.
