Two people were jailed and Minersville police obtained an arrest warrant for a third after a search warrant was executed at a home Tuesday night.
According to the Republican Herald, the warrant was the result of ongoing narcotics investigations. Police said upon entering, they found between 80 and 100 hypodermic needles strewn throughout the home.
35 year old Brandon Hosier and 34 year old Melissa Farrell were in the residence with their 15-month-old and 2-week-old daughters.
Hosier and Farrell were arraigned by on-call Magisterial District Judge James R. Ferrier, Orwigsburg, and committed to Schuylkill County Prison unable to post $15,000 straight cash bail.
Schuylkill County Children & Youth Services were contacted and took emergency custody of the two children, who were placed in foster care.
29 year old Chrystyna Hosier could not be located and police obtained a warrant for her arrest.
