Man arrested after police find meth in bedroom that he shared with 10-month-old

GILLETTE (WNE) — Police arrested 28-year-old Lincon Riley late Wednesday afternoon after being called to help Probation and Parole with a search of Riley’s home in the 3600 block of Miranda Avenue, Police Sgt. Jamison Norlander said.

Riley had admitted to using meth the night prior, and Probation and Parole agents said there were three children living with him.

Police searched the home and found half a gram of meth in a bedroom, which Riley shared with a 10-month-old boy. Riley was arrested for drug-endangered child and possession of meth.

The baby was the only child present at the home during the search, and he was placed into the care of a relative. The other two children stay at the home infrequently and weren’t there Wednesday, Norlander said.
