GALION — The father of a Galion boy who tested positive for methamphetamine after going Trick or Treating on Sunday has been arrested, according to Galion Police.
Galion Police Chief Brian Saterfield said Cambray Carwell, 24, was placed under arrest after authorities executed a search warrant on Nov. 1 at 64 Cedargate Court as part of the continuing investigation into the case.
Saterfield said officers from the Galion Police Department executed a search warrant Thursday at 64 Cedargate Court as part of the continuing investigation of a 5-year-old boy testing positive for methamphetamine on Sunday, Oct. 28. Saterfield said all charges relating to this arrest are specific to evidence obtained during the search warrant.
At this time, there are no criminal charges pertaining to the child ingesting methamphetamine, the chief noted.
“Our detectives have worked extremely hard on this investigation. While we cannot definitively say how the little boy ingested methamphetamine, we are extremely confident that he did not ingest any candy from Trick or Treat that was tainted,” Galion Police Chief Brian Saterfield said. “The boy is home, has been attending school and has not shown any lingering effects from the drug.
“We have received word from the crime lab regarding the toy teeth that were sent for testing. They advised that there were no signs of a controlled substance found on the teeth.”
Officer Tim Johnson and his partner, K-9 Basco, assisted Galion detectives during the search of the apartment. During the search, drug paraphernalia, marijuana and suspected methamphetamine were seized as evidence. A urine sample was also collected from the boy’s father, Cambray Carwell, which had a preliminary positive test for the presence of methamphetamine.
Carwell was placed under arrest and transported to the Crawford County Jail on charges of Tampering with Evidence and Possession of Drugs – methamphetamine, police stated.
The investigation will be presented to the Crawford County Prosecutor for review and filing of formal charges.
