LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A couple in Paducah are in custody after their children tested positive for drugs.
Chrishell Burns, 27, and Jakyron Burnside, 27, brought their two-year-old daughter to the emergency room last week.
She was lethargic, in and out of consciousness and had trouble breathing.
She tested positive for cocaine, methamphetamine, oxycodone, marijuana and fentanyl.
Paducah Police then tested their three-year-old who was positive for cocaine and marijuana.
A two-month-old tested positive for cocaine, marijuana and fentanyl. A fourth child is waiting for results.
Burns turned herself into a local jail on March 31 and police arrested Burnside at home on Apr. 5.

The two could also face additional charges.
Burns and Burnside are currently being held at the McCracken County Jail.
