call reporting an unattended child in an area along the 1300 block of Main St. on Saturday, March 2, 2019.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers located an apartment - where the child had exited - and discovered the parents, who appeared to have been asleep.
While in the apartment, officers located an amount of marijuana over 40 ounces but less than 5 pounds, along with a large amount of cash.
EPPD officers proceeded to detain 21-year-old Angel Isaiah Garcia and 21-year-old Dora Elia Juarez.
Both individuals were later presented before a magistrate where they were formally charged with child endangerment and an enhanced charge-possession of marijuana over 40 ounces but less than 5 pounds, due to their proximity to a playground (which is a 3rd degree felony). Garcia and Juarez were remanded to the Tom Bowles Detention Center in lieu of a $10,000 bond each.
The child, located in the street, as well as a second child located in the residence, were released to the custody of a family member.
