Chelsea O’Donnell Arrested Twice in One Month on Child Endangerment and Drug Charges

Rosie O’Donnell’s oldest daughter, Chelsea Belle O’Donnell, has found herself in a troubling situation, having been arrested twice within a month, facing charges including drug trafficking and allegations of child neglect. Reports indicate that on September 10, officers from the Marinette County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call from Chelsea during a dispute with her boyfriend, Jacob Nelund. When authorities arrived, Chelsea presented a facade of calm, asserting all was well despite the evident discord.

However, the police report suggests otherwise, noting Chelsea’s lack of honesty regarding the situation. During the encounter, she claimed her infant son, Atlas, was at home with Nelund. But as they detained Chelsea outside, officers discovered a meth pipe in her pocket. Upon entering the residence, they spoke to Jacob, who admitted to smoking marijuana but displayed signs of possible meth use.

The officers reported disturbing conditions inside the home—evidence of drug use, unkempt living spaces, and a general lack of hygiene that painted a grim picture. Specifically, they described finding dirty needles, rotten food, and other hazardous materials strewn throughout the house, making for a profoundly concerning environment for a child.

Remarkably, Chelsea was released later that week on bond but quickly returned to legal troubles. On October 11, she was pulled over, and during the stop, she reportedly attempted to discard a meth pipe over a nearby fence, a move that did not go unnoticed by officers. Additionally, they uncovered more incriminating items, including suspected drugs hidden in her bra.

Both incidents have resulted in scheduled hearings set for the upcoming month, leaving many to ponder the implications of Chelsea’s actions not only for herself but also for her young son.
