Parents of a 15-month-old infant who tested positive for methamphetamine were arrested by Ruston Police Wednesday.
The mother, Kristine Woodall, 28, and the father, Jimmy Klobas, 40, both of Choudrant, were arrested December 10 for cruelty to a juvenile during an investigation.
Police responded to the Northern Louisiana Medical Center in Ruston on December 9 at about 2:30 a.m. regarding the child testing positive for the drug.
Woodall and Klobas admitted to the infant was sick but denied knowing how he got methamphetamine in his system, according to a RPD press release.
Ruston Police said the investigation is continuing and additional charges may follow.
Both Woodall and Klobas were arrested on bench warrants for failure to appear. Court records show Klobas has a history of drug offenses.
