Probable cause: 8-month pregnant Webb City woman drove under influence of meth, fentanyl

 


An 8-month pregnant Webb City woman, was driving while under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine and with her 1-year-old daughter in the car, according to a probable cause statement filed today in Jasper County Circuit Court.

The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed DWI and endangering the welfare of a child charges against Rainy Nicole King (DOB 2003).







From the probable cause statement:

On 03/30/2026 in the State of Missouri, in the County of Jasper, in the City of Webb City, I have reason to believe that Rainy King committed the offense of Child endangerment in the Ist degree twice and DWI when she knowingly ingested Fentanyl, Methamphetamines, and THC into her system in proximity of her 1 year old child, and while carrying her unborn child, and then operated her motor vehicle. 

Rainy was observed driving by {a witness} who advised that Rainy was passed out at the steering wheel near Gene Hatfield and Main Streets. {The witness} advised that she had to honk several times to wake Rainy up. {She} advised that once Rainy was woken up, Rainy accelerated into the Windfield Apartment Complex and out of sight.

Rainy is approximately 8 months pregnant and was in the care, custody, and control of her 1 year old daughter in the vehicle. 








Rainy King was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated and a drug evaluation was conducted. 

Upon the completion of the DRE Rainy was given a saliva test to which she consented to. The saliva test was mailed on March 30th 2026 and the results of the saliva sample came back on the date of 04/06/2026.

The results of the saliva test indicate that Rainy had taken Fentanyl, Methamphetamines, and THC.

The case was investigated by the Webb City Police Department.
