A North Platte woman is facing felony charges after police say she and another individual smoked methamphetamine around two young children.

On October 2nd, North Platte Police responded to a complaint of two individuals smoking meth in the presence of two young children at the Lazy J Motel, 3605 Rodeo Road.

Upon arrival, officers made contact with 33-year-old Jeremy Zona and 23-year-old Dusty Swanson.  Officers discovered evidence of drug use in the room, and subsequently, a hair follicle test was conducted on the children, ages one and two.  The results of the tests were positive for methamphetamine.

On the morning of October 12th, an Officer located Swanson and placed her under arrest on charges of Felony Child Abuse, Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Public Information Officer Rodney Brown says the case remains open pending the arrest of Zona.

Swanson was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
