Bruckerhoff-Crowell is also facing charges of interference with a law enforcement officer and driving while suspended, while Rogers is facing a charge of using a communication facility in the commission of a felony drug violation.
Laurie says there was a child present in the vehicle when the arrest took place, which resulted in the aggravated endangering a child charge.
