SALINE COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Saline County are investigating three suspects on child endangerment charges.
Just after 2:30 April 14, police responded to a report of two children playing in the street in the 1500 Block of Roach Street in Salina, according to Police Captain Paul Forrester. Neither child had shoes and one child had no pants.
Offices found a five-year-old and a three-year-old outside the residence and Duncan Norman 19, Salina, asleep inside.
Norman was in charge of the children while the parents were at work, according to Forrester.
The children’s mother, Charolette Everhart, 43, Salina, works between 60-80 hours per week and the father, James Murphy, 34, was working in Tescott.
The children were taken into protective custody and a County Attorney reviewed the incident.
Following an investigation and review, the County Attorney issued a warrant for Norman, Everhart and Murphy. They were arrested Tuesday.
Forrester said due to the condition of the house, it was deemed unfit.
All three face two counts of endangering a child.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) — A former psychologist for a Wichita high school has been sentenced to three years of probation after more than 14 pounds of marijuana were found in the trunk of her car as she and her husband returned from Colorado.
Shelly Moore, 46, was sentenced Monday in Saline County. Jurors found the former Wichita Southeast High School psychologist guilty in February of charges that included possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
A deputy found the marijuana during a December 2015 traffic stop on Interstate 135. An affidavit says Moore told authorities she thought they had a personal-use amount. She said they’d texted a friend whose husband was dying of cancer as they drove back.
Her husband’s sentencing is set for May 22.
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Former Kansas state Sen. Jake LaTurner has been sworn in as the new state treasurer.
LaTurner took the oath of office Wednesday from Kansas Supreme Court Justice Caleb Stegall in a ceremony at the Statehouse. Dozens of family, friends and legislative and political colleagues watched.
The 29-year-old Pittsburg Republican was appointed last week by GOP Gov. Sam Brownback to replace former Treasurer Ron Estes.
The 60-year-old Estes won a special congressional election in the 4th District in south-central Kansas after fellow Republican Mike Pompeo was appointed CIA director.
LaTurner will serve the remainder of Estes’ four-year term as treasurer and plans run for the office in 2018.
Republicans in LaTurner’s former legislative district in southeast Kansas will pick a new senator Sunday to serve until a special election next year.
