QUEENS — A police department employee was arrested Wednesday when officers found marijuana at her Queens home.

Melissa Santiago, 26, a NYPD administrative aide, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child because one of her kids was with her at the time, police said.

Cops would only say that she lives in the 102nd Precinct, which includes Kew Gardens, Richmond Hill, Woodhaven and part of Ozone Park.

The arrest was the result of police obtaining a warrant to search her home.
