According to Constable Kenneth Hayden, after deputies conducted an investigation, it was found that Michael Taylor, 32, from Porter gave his eight-year-old son a large amount of methamphetamine and cocaine to hold while the deputies were conducting a narcotics investigation. Once the drugs were discovered in the child's possession, Taylor allegedly became belligerent and had to be restrained on scene.
Taylor was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and child endangerment. Taylor was taken to the Montgomery County jail and is currently held on a total of $13,000 in bonds.
The child was released to his mother, who was called to the scene. CPS has been made aware of this incident.
