A Reseda day-care center where police found an eight-foot-high marijuana plant and a loaded gun within the reach of children was ordered closed and its operator’s license was suspended Thursday by state officials.
Kim McIntyre, 28, who operated the day-care center in her home in the 19500 block of Vanowen Street, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of cultivating marijuana, a felony. She was released from the Van Nuys jail after posting $5,000 bail. Los Angeles police said they intend to seek a charge of child endangerment against her in addition to the drug charge.
McIntyre told police she was growing the marijuana to help cut down on her live-in boyfriend’s expenses for the drug.
