-A woman arrested during the execution of a search warrant at a home in Abbotsford appeared in Clark County Court on Thursday.Back in July, the Clark County Sheriff's Department, Clark County Social Services and the Abbotsford Police Department executed a search warrant at 419 North 3rd Street in Abbotsford.
Two adults, Gary Mann Jr. and Joan Mann, were arrested as was a 17-year-old. Joan has been charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, two counts of neglecting a child, intentionally contributing to the delinquency of a child and maintaining a drug trafficking place. She was set for a plea hearing at the beginning of November, but a status conference was held instead as she decided she didn't want to plead to the neglecting a child charges. During her preliminary hearing on Thursday, probable cause was found so her court proceedings will continue. She'll be back in court next week.
In the incident, two children, ages 13 and 6, were removed from the home by social services. The two children were the ones that told the authorities about the drug use in the home.
