Three Kansas Citians faced federal drug charges Thursday after police
raided a daycare and found crack cocaine and two loaded guns — one
within reach of children.

Federal prosecutors charged Valeriece Ealom, 34; Clifford Dorsey, 43,
and Megashia C. Jackson, 27, with conspiracy to distribute crack
cocaine. All three are in federal custody.

“You expect kids to be safe when you take them to day care,” said
police Capt. Rich Lockhart. “Not only were drugs accessible here,
there were loaded guns. That made for a very dangerous situation for
these kids.”

Court records alleged that Ealom sold crack cocaine from her home at
2920 Wabash Ave., where she ran a day care.

After learning of the alleged drug sales, Kansas City police arranged
for undercover officers to make three buys, according to Jackson
County court records.

In two of the buys, Ealom took $100 and gave the undercover officer an
8-ball of crack cocaine, which is about 3.5 grams of the drug, Jackson
County records stated. In the third buy, the records show Ealom was
busy talking to the parent of a child at the day care so she nodded to
another woman. The other woman then took $100 and handed an 8-ball to
the undercover customer, records stated.

Police raided the home at 3:10 p.m. Wednesday, while Ealom and some of
the children were in the front yard. As the officers approached, Ealom
ran inside the home and into the bathroom and locked the door, said
Sgt. Jay Pruetting, who led the raid. When

officers caught up to her, she was exiting the bathroom and the toilet
was flushing, he said.

Authorities recovered 50 grams of crack cocaine in a plastic bag
shoved in the pipes of the toilet, as well as 2.4 grams of crack
cocaine in an office area just inside the front door, the U.S.
attorney's office said.

Police found a small bag of crack on the floor next to a 4-month-old
baby, Pruetting said. All of the drugs had a street value of about
$7,000, he said. Police also found 21 pills that they were testing.

Besides drugs, Pruetting said officers found a loaded and cocked 9 mm
handgun that a child could have reached. A loaded shotgun was in a
closet, he said.

Police said they carefully planned the raid because of the children.
Authorities said there were seven to nine children at the home. Kansas
City police said they ranged in age from 4 months to 6 years old.

Some officers got the children safely out of the way, while others
arrested Ealom and collected evidence.

“It slowed our entry, but the safety of the kids was our top
priority,” said Pruetting.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, which licenses
daycare centers, did not have a record of Ealom's business.

However, the daycare is registered with the Missouri Department of
Family Services. DFS officials said Ealom's daycare received funding
from them indirectly through a childcare subsidy program for
low-income, working parents. To get the funding, Ealom went through a
background check.

After the raid on the daycare, police went after the two other
suspects.

Officers raided Dorsey's Kansas City home on Wednesday. Investigators
found about 30 grams of crack cocaine, as well as a loaded .380
caliber-semi-automatic handgun, according to the U.S. attorney's
office. Police said they also found 125 grams of cocaine in a plastic
bag in his car.

Just before executing the search warrant on Dorsey's home, police saw
Jackson arrive in a car, take items from the house and place them in
the trunk. Police detained Jackson in the front yard and searched a
black trash bag sitting near the open trunk. It contained 1,100 grams
of cocaine, the U.S. attorney's office said.

Earlier this summer, one of Ealom's family members was charged in a
crime. Her 15-year-old son was accused of shooting a 2-year-old girl
in the head June 30. The boy, Terry Hutton, was certified last month
to stand trial as an adult in Jackson County Circuit Court.

He faces two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of armed
criminal action He is accused of firing an assault rifle down Linwood
Boulevard.
