A 9-year-old boy sobbed as he ratted out his drug-dealing mother by handing police a 100-gram bag of methamphetamine he found under her nightstand.
Kendra Long’s son, who was not identified, met police at his front door in July 2022 while clutching his iPad and a sandwich-size Ziploc bag full of meth.
The little boy approached officers wracked with sobs as he handed the drugs off to authorities in front of his confused mother, newly released bodycam footage, obtained by KLAS , showed.
“I just saw a couple of bags, I was curious, pulled it out, and then that’s when I knew what it was,” the child told police while he was alone.
When asked if he knew what drugs looked like, the 9-year-old breathlessly replied: “Yeah.”
Her son had called his father, Tony, who he now lives with, after finding the bags of drugs under Long’s nightstand and locking himself in the bathroom for over an hour.
Upon entering the $430,000 Las Vegas home, an officer shows the mother the bag of drugs and she denies knowing what was inside.
After examining the drugs, the officers determined Long had around 100 grams in her possession, which would have been enough for hundreds of people.

Engle told his partner that this was one of the “top five” meth moments in his “20-year career of meth hauls.”
“I can honestly say this is the first time I can say that a kid’s walked out with 12 pounds of meth in a baggie and handed it to us,” he told his partner, who was handling the drugs on a back porch table.
Officers informed Long inside her home that the amount of drugs present was too much to be “personal use,” but enough for a “couple hundred people to party on a weekend.”
Long was arrested for drug trafficking and child abuse and further investigation found she had been dealing drugs, according to KLAS.
