SD In-home Day Care License Suspended After Drug Arrests

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The license of a South Dakota in-home day care has been suspended after police found methamphetamine at the facility.

Sioux Falls officials suspended the license after the drug was discovered Thursday. A 33-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man were arrested after a tip led an area task force to the home.

The pair had been arrested on drug-related charges in the mid and early 2000s. The woman became licensed to operate the day care in February 2014, but authorities didn’t see the previous arrests because a criminal background check for the license only goes back five years.

The pair faces various charges including possession of controlled substance with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The day care is located about a block away from an elementary school.
