TERRIBLE PARENTS WHOSE TODDLER TESTED POSITIVE FOR MULTIPLE NARCOTICS: BRANDON PATRICK, 25, AND TONI BRASHAY SHORT, 27, WHO LIVE IN HAGERHILL, KENTUCKY.
Kentucky State Police were called to a residence on Jenny’s Creek Road, after social workers obtained paperwork to have the children removed from the home, after the youngest child, a 2-year-old, tested positive for a “lethal amount” of meth, as well as lesser amounts of cocaine and amphetamine.
The parents, identified as Brandon Patrick, 25, and Toni Brashay Short, 27, both of Hager Hill, KY., reportedly told police they did not know how the children came in contact with the drugs. The couple both suggested that the drugs must have come from the children’s maternal grandfather, who the children had stayed with until he was recently arrested.
Both Brandon Patrick and Toni Brashay Short were arrested by KSP trooper William Hall, and they were both charged with:
*CRIMINAL ABUSE 1ST DEGREE-CHILD 12 OR UNDER,
*ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF A MINOR, &
*WANTON ENDANGERMENT-1ST DEGREE. Brandon Patrick was additionally charged with
*FAILURE TO APPEAR; stemming from being wanted on a bench court warrant.
Both Brandon Patrick and Toni Short were transported to and lodged in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville,KY., where they are currently being held in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center on $10,000 cash only bonds.
