A Tulsa woman whose daughter and two grandchildren were killed in an apartment fire faces drug charges.

Karen Johnson is charged with possession of crack cocaine and a crack pipe. Both were found in her apartment after the February 11th fire at the Canyon Creek Apartments near 51st and Lewis.

The fire killed 7-month-old Jalana Silas, 5-year-old Kortlin Johnson and their aunt, Martine Johnson.

Investigators still aren't sure how the 7-month old died. A state Medical Examiner's report says she does not appear to have died as a result of the fire.
