Five Year Old’s 911 Call Leads To Wanton Endangerment Charges For Parents

Deputies with the Laurel County Police Department say that a 911 call from a five-year-old lead to wanton endangerment charges being filed against the child’s parents.

The child called emergency services claiming that they could not wake their parents. When deputies arrived at the home off of Betty Lane, they discovered the child’s father passed out with his head on the kitchen table and the mother on the floor of her room with a razor blade, straws and a plate with a white substance on it.

37-year-old Steven Ray Chandler and 38-year-old Nina Maria Callahan were both charged with wanton endangerment. In addition to that, Callahan was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and Chandler was charged with failure to appear in court.

Both have been sent to the Laurel County Correctional Center.
