GALLIPOLIS, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Two small children were found in a hotel room filled with drugs.

Police say they went to the Regency Inn on State Route 7 in Gallipolis at about 8:30 Tuesday night to serve a warrant. When they got there they found drugs, cash and two small children.

Gallia County Sheriff's deputies seized Oxycontin, Roxicet, Percocet, Marijuana, syringes, pill crushers and other drug paraphernalia. They also found $1,089 believed to be drug trafficking money.

Joel Johnson, 26 of Crown City, and Cassidy Sheffield, 26 of Gallipolis, were booked in the Gallia County Jail. Charges are currently pending.

Officers of the Gallipolis Police Department assisted in these arrests.

To Python Data Types: Seriously, who cares if people have demographical errors. That should be the least of everyone's worries. And by the way, if you want to knit pick, arnt is spelled aren't. Maybe YOU should use spell checker. My prayers go out to the children who have to grow up in that mess. And people saying that they would sell drugs to support their kids. Come one, get a job at a fast food restaurant and if you are real desperate, pick up cans along side the road and turn them in. There are other ways then risking your childrens' lives for money. What if a drug deal gone bad happened while they were there? They do not deserve to be murdered or watch their parents be killed. Murder is happening all the time in the tri-state area. No one can say that it wouldn't happen to them!! I couldn't imagine what those poor children have seen already. It is so sad!!
