Memphis, TN - It's a story about a 2-year-old pointing a gun at a cop, a bag of weed, and a Memphis mother who just wanted to get her nails done.
It all happened Friday when police say 23 year old Erica Rooks left her children in the car while she went into a nail salon off Summer.
Investigators say just after 2 in the afternoon police received a 911 call.
The woman on the other line complaining there were 3 kids in a black Impala, with the motor running and their mother no where in sight.
Cops made the scene and found the car with the kids inside.
Their ages 4, 2 and 9 months.
Moments later Rooks walked out of the salon telling police she just went to use the bathroom.
Police say that's not true.
After checking the sign-in sheet, investigators discovered Rooks had just finished a full nail service.
But there's so much more.
Cops asked for her license.
That's when police say Rooks reached into her car dropping a bag of weed in her center console.
Police saw what was happening and found the grass after searching her car.
But this is where this story turns even more dangerous.
While MPD officers were standing outside of Rooks car one of the cops noticed the two year old kid inside the vehicle holding a gun and pointing it at them.
Tuesday rooks is out of jail on a 5000 dollar bond.
