CANTON -- A Canton man and woman were jailed Tuesday for manufacturing methamphetamine with a two-year old child in the residence, according to St. Lawrence County sheriff's deputies.

David B. Morrison, 35, and Jessica L. McSweeney, 30, were charged with third-degree unlawful manufacturing methamphetamine, second-degree criminal contempt and endangering the welfare of a child.

Deputies were called to 5780 U.S. Highway 11 to assist the St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services on a home visit.

Following investigation deputies said they discovered numerous items indicative to manufacturing methamphetamine.

Deputies said that a two-year old child was present when they arrived at the home.

A family court order of protection was in effect prohibiting both subjects from endangering the welfare, health and safety of the child, police said.

Morrison and McSweeney were arraigned by Judge Sharpe in Madrid court.

Morrison was remanded to St. Lawrence County Jail on $1,000 bail or $2,500 bond and McSweeney was remanded to St. Lawrence County jail on $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond.

Deputies were assisted on scene by the New York State Police Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Team (CCERT).
