SHAWNEE COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas woman on multiple charges after an arrest.

Just after 11a.m. Tuesday, deputies served a search warrant on a residence in the 3400 block of NW Rochester Road, according to Deputy Abigail Christian.

Deputies encountered the homeowner, Mary B. Kisner, 42, of Topeka, two other adult subjects, and Kisner’s toddler-aged child. Deputies seized methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, marijuana, and prescription medication from inside the residence.

They also arrested Kisner and booked her into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections on multiple narcotics charges and child endangerment.

Kisner’s toddler-aged child and other minor child, who was in school at the time of the search warrant, were placed into protective custody pending a hearing, according to deputy Christian.
