Two people in Adair County were arrested after police say they left children unattended in a parking lot, and were in possession of drugs.
Columbia Police say 37-year-old Adrienne Faulkner of Greensburg and 42-year-old Wendell Reynolds of Campbellsville were arrested Tuesday morning. Both were charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Faulkner faces two additional charges of wanton endangerment first degree.
Officers were called out to a parking lot off Merchant Street in Columbia for reports of a small child unattended in the parking lot. When officers arrived, they were able to pick up the child and located Faulkner, who was asleep in a vehicle. A search of the vehicle found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Faulkner said the drugs didn’t belong to her, but belonged to a man inside the judicial center, who was identified as Reynolds.
The children were safely returned to their father, and Reynolds and Faulkner were lodged in the Adair County Regional Jail.
