Two Indiana residents have been charged with endangering the welfare of a child in a drug case from this past weekend. State police say 25-year-old Marybeth Roush and 29-year-old Jeffery Smith were supposed to be watching a 6-year-old girl on Friday night when both Roush and Smith overdosed on heroin. Police do not say much more about the incident, which happened at about 11:30 PM in the 500 block of Whittier Drive in White Township. The parents of the girl are not publicly identified, but Children and Youth Services was notified.

It didn’t take much of a sense of smell to raise the suspicion of a state trooper last Thursday night on Grove Lane. Trooper Dylan Toy was on patrol the area of the Verge Apartments and Arch Apartments when he noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from a parked vehicle in the Arch Apartments. Inside that vehicle was 23-year-old Darryl Lamont Carpenter III of Pittsburgh, and a search revealed a backpack with 24.8 grams of marijuana and a digital scale. Charges of simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia are pending.
