A man and woman are charged with the alleged child abuse or neglect of their four children.
21-year-old Kammi Dawn Horton and 22-year-old Takota Chayton Prinsloo of Antioch Road, Smithville are each under a $30,000 bond on four counts of child abuse or neglect and they will be in court on August 22.
Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on August 8 Horton was asleep when she and Prinsloo left their two sons and two daughters unattended and in poor housing conditions that affected the children’s health and welfare.
40-year-old Jackie Marie Goff of Four Seasons Road, Smithville is charged with resisting stop-frisk-halt-search- or arrest and disorderly conduct. She was also issued a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia. Her bond is $5,000 and she will be in court August 22.
Sheriff Ray said that on August 11 Goff attempted to evade law enforcement and refused to heed verbal commands to stop. Later when officers tried to place her under arrest, Goff continued trying to resist and refused to put her hands behind her back.
The disorderly conduct charge alleges that Goff intentionally caused annoyance and alarm to citizens on a public roadway by screaming and cursing while residents were outside of their home. Goff also allegedly caused hazardous conditions by sitting and running in the road causing motorists to have to stop and drive around her.
Sheriff Ray added that after Goff was arrested a glass pipe believed to be used to smoke methamphetamine was recovered during a search of her property. A plastic straw was also found on her during a pat down search.
