On Wednesday evening, Salina Police officers and paramedics responded to a 911 call for an unresponsive 1o month-year-old child in north Salina. 

At approximately 6:14 p.m. officers arrived at the 300 block of North Penn Avenue where they found the child breathing, but somewhat unresponsive.

Salina Police Sergeant Kyle Tonniges said this morning that paramedics transported the child to SRHC where the child was treated and released into police protective custody.

According to Tonniges the 911 call was placed by the child's parents. Officers who responded suspected the child had possibly been exposed to drugs. 

"At this time we're not quite sure what specific drugs or how that's just what we suspected," Tonniges said. "Our detectives ended up getting a search warrant for this residence, where we did locate some drugs and paraphernalia."

Tonniges told Salina Post that during the search of residence, officers discovered methamphetamine, fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, and marijuana. 

The child's parents, Phoenix Leonard, 28, and Sadie Marvin, 22, of Salina, were both arrested for aggravated child endangerment, possession of controlled substances, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Tonniges said officers are actively investigating this case. 

Salina Post will update this story as new information becomes available.
