\nA welfare check in West Point leads to drug trafficking arrests and child endangerment charges Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
On July 1, 2025, at approximately 9:35 a.m., Deputy Timmy Walker and West Point Fire Department responded to a welfare check at the N 4th Street Boat Ramp parking lot in West Point.<\/p>\n
The caller reported two unresponsive adults in a black Ford Mustang, with a baby crawling around the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, Deputy Walker found the vehicle windows down, engine off, and a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside. The baby was wearing only a diaper and was crawling around the front passenger side, within reach of drugs and a loaded handgun.<\/p>\n
Deputy Walker and West Point Fire Department used sternum rubs to awaken the male driver and female passenger. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a large quantity of methamphetamine and marijuana\u2014both individually bagged\u2014along with a loaded .22 caliber handgun, digital scales, a meth pipe, and other drug paraphernalia. The evidence is consistent with drug trafficking.<\/p>\n
The child was transported by Bullitt County EMS to Kosair Children\u2019s Hospital in Louisville for evaluation. Child Protective Services later took custody of the infant.<\/p>\n
Both the male and female adults refused EMS transport and hospital evaluation.<\/p>\n
Christopher Burns, age 37 of Radcliff, was arrested and charged with Trafficking in Methamphetamine Enhanced; Trafficking in Marijuana Enhanced; Possession of a Hand Gun By Convicted Felon; Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Endangering the Welfare of a Minor. He is being held in the Hardin County Detention Center under a $150,000 cash bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 3.<\/p>\n

She is being held in the Hardin County Detention Center under a $10,000 cash bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 3.
