MONTREAL—A woman who allegedly left a baby alone in a Montreal apartment that caught fire is facing a new charge of obstructing police work. Josee Milot pleaded not guilty in court Tuesday to the obstruction charge before her lawyer told reporters he would seek an addiction therapy treatment for her. “It’s a problem that seems to be recurring and my client would like to treat it,” said lawyer Antonio Cabral. Montreal police believe Milot started cooking something on the stove in the wee hours Thursday and then left the apartment when she was meant to be acting as the baby girl’s temporary guardian. A police unit working nearby crawled through heavy smoke to save the infant.
