This is an everyday story as parents of young children are hauled off to jail and their sick kids to foster care. In this case the young children, ages 5 and 11, live in Bristol, Tennessee. Besides the meth charges, Tara Glover, 29, and Marcus D. Glover, 35 were also charged with child endangerment.

Police were serving a warrant on another person for previous methamphetamine related charges and found the remnants of new operation and "allegedly received consent to search the home, locating precursors of meth production in a bedroom. At that point both the Glovers were taken into custody." Police also found five trash bags with more toxic waste from previous cooks and had to call in a special clean up squad.

Police were attempting to find Sandra Kent wanted on charges of manufacturing meth. She was arrested on previous meth charges. With friends like this...
