While this was happening, their 13-year-old son was sitting in the car parked outside. Sharyn and Mark were both transported to Southern Hills Hospital. Youth Services Sargent Turner took custody of the child due to neither of the parents knowing the address of their relatives they were visiting. A search of the vehicle was conducted and officers found 10.8 grams of marijuana along with a joint in the glove box. Evidence was turned in to property and the vehicle was towed to Cottons Lot.
