York, Neb. — Four adults face child abuse and drug charges after deputies with the York County Sheriff’s Office in coordination with the York Police Department served a search warrant in the 1000 block of North Grant Avenue.
The search warrant served on April 3 was the result of an ongoing investigation that began on March 19 following a traffic stop involving a female driver who was later determined to be under the influence of drugs while operating a motor vehicle with multiple children present. During that investigation, evidence was developed indicating possible drug exposure to a minor child.
Subsequent testing confirmed the presence of schedule I drugs in a young child, prompting further investigation and the issuance of a search warrant for the residence.
After executing the search warrant, deputies observed living conditions in the home that were deemed unsafe and unsanitary for children. Law enforcement officers also uncovered drugs and drug paraphernalia that were accessible to children in the home.
25-year-old Kelli Saatmann of York was arrested on charges of child abuse, DUI-drugs first offense, DUI with a passenger under the age of 16, possession of marijuana less than one ounce first offense, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
31-year-old Levi Laws of York was arrested on charges of child abuse, possession of marijuana less than one ounce, first offense, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
25-year-old Michael Hodgson of York was arrested on charges of child abuse, possession of marijuana less than one ounce, first offense, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
21-year-old Mikki Limburg of York was arrested on charges of child abuse, possession of marijuana less than one ounce, first offense, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The four adults at the residence are being held at York County Corrections.
Several children were in the residence during the time of the search warrant as well. These children were released to non-offending parents/guardians who do not reside in the residence and others were removed from parental care and placed with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
