The West Virginia State Police arrested several local residents recently on child neglect and other charges according to law enforcement reports.

• Kimberly Rose Roberts, 24, of Logan, was arrested in Logan County by WVSP troopers J.D. Hensley, T.D. Boggs and J.T. Robinson for possession of a controlled substance and child neglect on Oct. 5.

She was booked at the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden at 4:30 p.m.

According to police reports, on Oct. 5, the troopers responded to a call from the residence of Michael Hughes in Mount Gay about a separate investigation.

Upon arrival, the officers reportedly discovered three additional adults living at the residence, including Roberts, two infant children and a toddler. Roberts is the mother of one of the infant children, the report said. Additionally, the officers reportedly discovered multiple hypodermic needles/syringes that were scattered on the floor of the residence.

The report said the investigation also revealed the needles were used by the adult occupants of the residence to inject Oxycodone.

Roberts reportedly admitted the other adults in the residence were frequently under the influence of OxyContin in the presence of her child and the other children. The syringes were found to contain trace amounts of OxyContin, the report said.

Also arrested in relation to the incident on the same charges were:

• Cathy Marie Adkins, 21, of Switzer, whose criminal complaint states she was the mother of the 2-year-old and 8-month-old children.

• Michael Ray Hughes, 27, of Mt. Gay, whose criminal complaint states Hughes was the father of one of the children.

• Jeremy Scott Neace, 24, of Switzer whose criminal complaint states he is the father of the 2-year-old and the 8-month-old.

All of those arrested reportedly gave statements that the other adults in the residence were frequently under the influence of OxyContin in the presence of the children.
