A grandmother was arrested in a Greenburgh drug raid while her 5-month-old graddaughter was in her care, according to authorities.
Alesia Blackwell, 51, who is out on bail, faces felony and misdemeanor drug charges, and a charge of endangering the welfare of a child.
SWAT officers swarmed Blackwell's Oak Street apartment on Wednesday. Authorities say they found nearly 42 grams of marijuana, 5 grams of Ecstasy, digital scales, drug paraphernalia and a small safe inside Blackwell's apartment.
Neighbors describe Blackwell as quiet. Some say police targeted her unfairly, even claiming that authorities set her up.
Blackwell is schedule to appear in court next week.
