(KAIR)--A mother and son are arrested, and thousands of dollars worth of alleged methamphetamine is seized, following the weekend raid of an Atchison home.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says 64-year-old Linda Ballard, and 24-year-old Eric Ballard, were both arrested on charges including distribution of methamphetamine, possession of paraphernalia w/intent to distribute a controlled substance, and no drug tax stamp.

They also each face a charge of aggravated endangering of a child because Laurie says a 2-year-old child was inside the 1104 Laramie Street home at the time his office executed the search warrant.

The child was turned over to the custody of a relative.

Laurie says the search warrant was obtained following an investigation that revealed that methamphetamine was allegedly being sold from the home.

He says the raid led to the seizure of a large quantity of what's believed to be methamphetamine, valued at around $4,500, drug paraphernalia, and cash.

Linda Ballard and Eric Ballard were both booked into the Atchison County Jail following their arrests, which were made around midnight Saturday.
