Glamorous mom gives birth to 15-week fetus in her toilet then flees hospital when hearing police had raided her home during drug bust
- Kaili McKenna Johnson gave birth to a 15-week fetus in her Idaho bathroom
- She then tried to flee the hospital after police found drugs in her apartment
An Idaho couple was arrested after authorities discovered a toddler had easy access to drugs at home.
The discovery and subsequent arrest came after police were called to a report that a woman had delivered a 15-week-old fetus in her toilet.
Kaili McKenna Johnson and Christopher Roy Mitchell were later charged with combined felonies of injury to a child, manufacturing, delivering or possessing a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and a misdemeanor count of possession or use of drug paraphernalia.
Police reports indicate that a Bingham County sheriff’s detective was called to a home to respond to the medical emergency, only to find Johnson had been taken in an ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.
Kaili McKenna Johnson was arrested in Idaho on a number of charges related to child endangerment and drug possession. She attempted to flee authorities from the hospital where she was being treated for prematurely giving birth to a fetus she delivered in her toilet.
Christopher Roy Mitchell was also arrested on a wave of charges similar to Johnson’s. After she was taken to the hospital, he was found in the apartment full of drugs, drug paraphernalia and a toddler.
Johnson’s 18-month-old son and an unidentified friend were in the home at the time of the incident.
Authorities noticed the odor of marijuana coming from the home and noted in their report that they saw a joint on the kitchen table.
Mitchell returned to the scene and allowed officers to search the property. He also handed the detective a plastic jar containing marijuana, which he confirmed as such.
Detectives later reported finding a “large amount of paraphernalia…a large amount of marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, pills and suspected marijuana plants” in the apartment.
Prescription records show that most pills were obtained without a doctor’s note.
When hospital staff requested a welfare check, detectives learned that Johnson and Mitchell had “fled the hospital.”
At the time, Johnson had just completed surgery and reportedly still had IVs hooked up to her.
The provincial prosecutor said his office cannot release the status of the premature fetus because of a legal restriction about what information the public may receive in a case like this.
Police say “drugs in the open” were found in every room of the small apartment.
There was a play area for the 18 month old baby in the bedroom, with toys scattered around the room. In that area, detectives say loose marijuana, methamphetamines and drug paraphernalia “surrounded” the designated play area.

Detectives further detailed how a plastic container from an infant’s high chair was used as a plate on which “marijuana could be separated and prepared for consumption.”
According to a local sales pointJohnson and Mitchell were also arrested in Bonneville County in late February on charges separate from this case.
The charges at the time also related to the possession and use of drugs.
Mitchell was also charged with a number of violations for failing to register the vehicle he was driving, as well as other safety violations.
The pair was booked into the Bonneville County Jail. While there, two more arrest warrants were issued from neighboring Bingham County.
The Bingham cases will not move forward until the Bonneville cases are resolved.
Johnson could face life in prison if convicted, while Mitchell could potentially be sentenced to up to 19 years.
