Their charges stem from a recent request made from the Miami County Division of the Indiana Department of Child Services (MCDCS), the release notes, which asked for police assistance in the emergency removal of the couple’s 3-year-old daughter from their residence in the 400 block of West Third Street after she tested positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl.

Breanna Parsons was taken into custody on Friday during a traffic stop, the release indicated, while her husband was arrested at his place of employment.

The release also stated that Byron Parsons had methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia on him when taken into custody.

During a subsequent search of the couple’s property, police also allegedly located methamphetamine, heroin, a syringe and several items of drug paraphernalia.

Both Byron and Breanna Parsons are currently being held at the Miami County Jail as they await their initial hearings in Miami Superior Court II.
