FOUR-YEAR-OLD TESTED POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE IN RHEA COUNTY
RHEA COUNTY, TN- Earlier this month during a drug bust, a four-year-old tested positive for methamphetamine.
According to Rhea County detective Rocky Potter, narcotic investigators weren’t aware a 4-year-old boy was inside. A wellness check deemed the child okay, but a hair follicle test showed he was positive for narcotics. Potter says the child has been with child services and that he is currently living with a family member. In situations like these, investigators say exposure to drugs like this can be deadly.
Investigators say Tiffany Goodwin, Justin Keylon, Donna Galentine, and Deara Devany have been arrested.
Potter says the four were held on a $50,000 bond, which three of the four have posted. They face child endangerment charges.
Potter says the boy is safe and well, but that exposure to the narcotics could have long-term effects.
Potter says the four adults have court appearances in the coming weeks.
