"At this time we're not quite sure what specific drugs or how that's just what we suspected," Tonniges said. "Our detectives ended up getting a search warrant for this residence, where we did locate some drugs and paraphernalia."
During the search of residence, officers discovered methamphetamine, fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, and marijuana.
The child's parents, Phoenix Leonard, 28, and Sadie Marvin, 22, of Salina, were both arrested on requested charges of aggravated child endangerment, possession of controlled substances, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
