Knott County Woman Charged After Alleged Drug Intoxication While Caring for Children

PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Knott County woman was arrested Monday after authorities said she was under the influence of methamphetamine while caring for two young children at a Prestonsburg hospital.

 

According to an arrest citation, officers responded to Highlands ARH Medical Clinic on June 15 after receiving a report of an intoxicated woman with two small children.

 

The woman, identified as 26-year-old Sara Elizabeth Conley of Topmost, was found displaying signs of impairment, including rapid speech, fidgety behavior and difficulty remaining still, according to the citation. Authorities said field sobriety tests indicated methamphetamine intoxication, and Conley admitted to using the drug earlier that morning.

 

The two children were released to the care of a family member.

 

Conley was arrested and lodged in the Floyd County Detention Center on charges of public intoxication and two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor.
