A Big Rapids woman accused of selling drugs to an undercover detective is now facing new charges.

27-year old Tricia Marie Cody was arraigned in Mecosta County on charges of second-degree child abuse and fourth-degree child abuse.

It’s alleged in court documents that Cody caused serious physical or mental harm to a child by “carrying and swinging an 18-month old around by the neck and leg. 

Last September, Cody was arrested after she allegedly sold drugs to an undercover detective from the Central Michigan Enforcement team.

Cody is expected to be back in court next month.
