Fort Smith couple charged over children’s meth, THC findings

Charges filed in Fort Smith

A couple in Fort Smith has been charged after police said children had methamphetamine and THC in their systems. The allegations involve two controlled substances: methamphetamine and THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis.

The report identifies the case as involving children and a Fort Smith couple. It does not identify the couple, list the specific charges, state when the arrests or filings occurred, or give the number of children involved.

What the allegations mean

A criminal charge is an accusation. It does not establish that the defendants committed a crime, and the couple would have the right to respond in court.

The police allegation concerns substances found in the children’s systems. The available account does not state how investigators learned of the exposure, whether the children received medical treatment, or whether any agency took other action.

Court process

The case will proceed through the court system. A judge or jury, rather than the initial allegation, would determine whether the charges are proven. Details such as the couple’s first court appearance, the exact charges and any response from the defendants were not stated.
