Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter arrested for child neglect after baby found near meth pipe

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea Belle O’Donnell was arrested on child neglect and drug possession charges after police found her 11-month-old son near a meth pipe last month.

On Sept. 17, the 27-year-old was charged with four counts of maintaining a place for drug trafficking, child neglect, possession of methamphetamine and THC, the last of which is commonly found in cannabis, according to court documents obtained by In Touch. friday

He also reportedly received two misdemeanors: disorderly conduct/domestic abuse and possession of illegally obtained prescription drugs.

Chelsea was arrested and charged after officers visited her home in Marinette, Wis., on September 10 due to a dispute she had with her boyfriend, Jacob Nelund, which prompted her to call the police , according to the status of the documents.

While on the phone, dispatchers could hear a woman telling another person to “get away.”

Upon arrival, police noted that Chelsea’s pupils were “dilated” and that she was “not being honest in any way”.

The officer who documented the visit also said he had been called to the house for a “similar incident” weeks earlier and experienced the same situation.

While questioning Chelsea at her home, she was found with a meth pipe in her pocket. The pipe reportedly had meth residue.

Once police arrested Chelsea and entered her home, she documented finding “horrific” living conditions.

They then surprisingly located a bong and a meth pipe “that a small child could have easily taken,” according to the police report.

Police said they also found “a black and silver digital scale, some used gem bags with white residue and a sharps container that had more used and unused hypodermic needles” under her son’s crib.

“Inside the bedroom that appeared to be designated as (the boy’s) room, there were numerous used hypodermic needles,” a second officer reported.

“Some of them were covered in blood. There were old apples, trash, random tools and butane bottles sitting on the floor, all mixed in with the clothes that belonged to (the boy).

There was also a “used meth pipe and a jewelry bag containing meth” located in Chelsea and Nelund’s bedroom, according to the documents.

Police found evidence suggesting the home was used for drug trafficking, as well as a facility for cooking meth.

“Jacob and Chelsea appeared to be more concerned about his drug addiction than providing (the baby) with a safe and clean environment,” an officer wrote in his report.

Chelsea was later found to be in possession of 18 grams of methamphetamine after an arresting officer noticed her “bumping in her butt or vaginal area.”

After her arrest, Chelsea’s baby was placed in the care of Nelund’s friends. He was released on bail shortly after.

The troubled mother had another run-in with police during a separate incident on October 10 when she was arrested.

He allegedly tried to throw a meth pipe out the window, and the officer found “three used needles” in the center console of the vehicle, according to In Touch.

She was arrested but first taken to hospital, where she was found to be in possession of oxycodone, morphine and sulphate tablets, as well as a bag of methamphetamine, which she had hidden in her bra.

Chelsea was arrested again and reportedly charged with possession of methamphetamine, bail jumping, drug possession and other misdemeanors.

In Touch reported that hearings in both cases are scheduled for November.

Rosie’s rep exclusively tells Page Six, “Sadly, this is nothing new for our family — Chelsea has struggled with drug addiction for a decade — we’re all hopeful that she’ll find a way out this deadly disease.”

The Marinette County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately return our request for comment.

Rosie, 62, and her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter adopted Chelsea when she was a baby.

The comedian reported Chelsea missing in New York when she was 17 in August 2015. The then-teen was found in the attic of an alleged drug dealer’s home in New Jersey four days later.

“Rosie is relieved that Chelsea is back, but she’s scared for her daughter, she’s really upset that Chelsea was with this guy,” an insider told Page Six at the time.

“He’s 25 years old, he’s a heroin dealer who lives with his mother.”

In October 2015, Chelsea criticized Rosie for claiming he was mentally ill when he reported her missing.

“People think I’m this crazy person and, like I said, I have depression and anxiety, but it’s been something that’s gotten a lot better,” she told the Daily Mail at the time.

“But they were personal things and I didn’t want anyone to know about me. I wouldn’t say I’m mentally ill, I’d say a lot of people struggle with what I have.”

The following year, Chelsea was rushed to a hospital in Long Island, New York, after a drug overdose, and was evaluated by social workers, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals.

In October 2016, Chelsea married a man named Nicholas Alliegro, but filed for divorce when she became pregnant with his child.

She had her baby, daughter Skylar Rose, in December 2018.

Chelsea had three more children: daughter Riley in January 2021, daughter Avery Lynn in February 2022 and son Atlas in October 2023.
