The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office has arrested a man and woman, charging them with cooking meth in the presence of three young children.
Investigators say they first learned of the meth-cooking operation when authorities responded to a medical emergency near Holden, where a man suffered chemical burns to his face and arms. Police say the man was burned opening the lid of a discarded washing machine given to him a couple of days prior.
Chief Criminal Deputy Jason Ard says that it appears the remnants of a meth lab was inside the washing machine.
Ard says deputies paid a visit to the original location where the scrapped appliance was obtained by the burn victim. Upon arriving at the residence in the 28000 block of George White Road near Holden, deputies reported smelling the odor of a "meth cook" coming from a mobile home.
According to Ard, deputies brought three occupants out of the trailer: Carl H. Savoy, Angelique Joy Townsend, and a 2-year-old child. Deputies reported discovering a meth lab smoldering in the shower of a bathroom, burning a hole completely through the floor of the shower.
After deputies arrested the man and woman, investigators with the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services took custody of the child.
Acadian Ambulance Service took that child and two of his siblings, who were located at a nearby school, to an area hospital for a medical examination.
Ard says evidence inside the home indicated that all three children had access to and were living in the immediate area of the meth lab. The children were described as a 2 year old boy, a 6 year old girl, and an 11 year old girl.
Townsend is the mother of the three children.
Both Savoy and Townsend face numerous drug and child-endangerment charges in the case.
