Two babies are left alone Friday night while the two adults caring for them engaged in a disturbance.

That's the allegation made by police that led to the arrest of two Atchison residents. “Shortly before 10 p.m. on Friday night, our officers responded to a disturbance call in the 1200 block of North 6th,” Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News. “It was determined that two people involved in the disturbance had left the apartment, and a baby could be heard crying inside the apartment. The officers were able to make entry into the apartment where they found two babies, one being three months old and the other being one-year old, and they had been left unattended. About 15 minutes later, the two involved in a disturbance to the apartment, and are now in custody."

Wilson said 23-year-old Emily Hawkins was arrested on a charge of aggravated endangering a child, domestic battery, and disorderly conduct.

Also arrested was 25-year-old Jason Andre, who was taken into custody on a charge of disorderly conduct.

Following their arrests, both Hawkins and Andre were booked into the Atchison County Jail.

At last check, she remained in custody, held on a bond of $10,000.

Andre's bond was set at $500.
