A woman arrested in a Murrieta hotel -- her teenage children taken from her -- was behind bars today on drug and probation violation charges.
Francine Kolikias, 45, of Temecula was taken into custody and her children turned over to Child Protective Services following the noon or so search of her room Thursday at the Comfort Inn & Suites Hotel, 41005 California Oaks Rd.
Police had been alerted by someone who thought the teens were being abused and drugs were present in the room, according to Murrieta police Sgt. Don Weller.
Because Kolikias was on probation, with a condition that searches can be performed at any time, the hotel room was tossed.
Police found drugs and stolen local store items, the sergeant said.
Kolikias was on probation for a theft conviction when arrested, police said.
She was booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center on suspicion of drug possession and probation violation, according to sheriff's jail records.
She remained behind bars in lieu of $5,000 bail today, pending a court appearance Tuesday at the Southwest Justice Center, in French Valley.

:( How sad. Praying for these children who really need loving and care immediately. Also for the mother that she is able to get help for her addictions.

People who live in glass houses... A looser interpretation of loser would include someone without the education to spell "loser" and "plain" and that is just plain and simple!
I think she should be forced into residential drug treatment (it has been proven to be very successful) , after a period of time in jail. With supervision and outpatient follow-up she could become a productive member of society and a good parent to her children.

PEOPLE WHO SNUB THEIR NOSES TO ONES WHO HAVE LESS THEN THEY DO... Nothing worse then kicking people when they are down, and then claiming to fame the amount of people who are UNDER you... ugh
I agree charles with treatment and structure she can have her life turn around, it must be devastating to have something like addiction control your life..
