Mom flunked 3 drug tests, records show JENSEN_Heather HEATHER JENSEN: Sons, 2, 4 died after being left in vehicle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JENSEN_Heather Staff HEATHER JENSEN: Sons, 2, 4 died after being left in vehicle By Paul Shockley Thursday, January 17, 2013 In alleged violations of the terms of her probation, Heather Jensen failed three court-ordered drug tests in the months before the Nov. 27 incident on Grand Mesa that led to the deaths of her young sons, according to records obtained by The Daily Sentinel. Steps to revoke Jensen’s deferred judgment—potentially jailing her for an unknown period of time—started in December and resulted in a court filing earlier this month. “Ms. Jensen has produced urinalysis tests which tested positive for THC on the following dates: March 21, 2012, October 8, 2012, and October 26, 2012,” reads a summons and complaint filed by Mesa County Criminal Justice Services caseworkers, signed on Dec. 31. THC is the primary intoxicant in marijuana. The complaint said Jensen must appear in Mesa County court today, Jan. 18, to “show cause” why her deferred judgment shouldn’t be revoked. “She did not report to produce a (urine) sample in the month of November 2012,” a caseworker wrote in the complaint. “On December 13, Ms. Jensen produced another urinalysis which tested positive for THC.” The complaint was filed at the Mesa County Justice Center on Jan. 3. Aside from the drugs, the filing suggests Jensen had trouble showing up to meetings with county officials. Caseworkers wrote in the filing she missed three scheduled check-ins since March 21, 2012. The no-show dates aren’t specified, but they constituted more alleged violations. Jensen, 24, waived extradition during a first court appearance Thursday in Lee County, Fla. She was ordered held without bond, while the Mesa County Sheriff’s Department has said it won’t release information on the timing of Jensen’s return. Jensen was arrested Wednesday leaving her mother’s home in North Fort Myers, Fla., on a Mesa County warrant listing two counts of criminally negligent homicide, two counts of child abuse resulting in death while acting with negligence, and one count of false reporting. The Palisade mother was charged by District Attorney Pete Hautzinger in connection with a Nov. 27 incident on Grand Mesa that led to the deaths of sons, William, 2, and Tyler, 4. The boys died of hyperthermia, or overheating, after they were left in their mother’s running Toyota 4Runner. http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/mom-flunked-3-drug-tests-records-show
