A man and woman from Indiana were arrested on several charges after the police allegedly found large amounts of drugs, paraphernalia, and cash in the home where they had a two-and-a-half-year-old child.
On June 26, someone called the authorities to report that they thought there were illegal drug-related activities going on in a residence in Seymour. Officers from the Seymour Police Department went to the address to check out the claim.
When they got there, the residents were home, and they began discussing the report with them. According to reports, while they were there, they allegedly noticed the scent of marijuana and believed it was coming from the home. They also saw a youngster inside playing with toys. They believed there was cause to inspect the residence, and they were granted a search warrant.
It was reported that the record of items the police reportedly found listed just over half an ounce of cocaine (about 16 grams), several syringes, more than 600 grams (about 1.32 pounds) of marijuana, LSD, and several hundred dollars they assumed were obtained by drug sales.
Both parties were taken into custody and booked into the Jackson County Jail. The woman is facing preliminary charges of neglect of a dependent, dealing in cocaine, dealing in marijuana, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, and maintaining a common nuisance.
