A man and woman are facing child endangerment and drug charges in northeast Iowa’s Fayette County.
Twenty-five-year-old Ryan James Smith and 30-year-old Erika Pipkin, both of West Union, were arrested Monday at an apartment where police say they uncovered a drug trafficking operation. Police say meth was in reach of Pipkin’s two-year-old child. Officials with the Department of Human Services have launched their own investigation and took the child.
