LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB Fox 41) -- Police say a one-month-old child was taken to Kosair Children's Hospital after it was found in a home with an active meth lab Monday afternoon.
According to police reports obtained by Fox 41 News, police received a tip about a possible meth lab located in the 9800 block of Brook Bend Road, near the Jefferson County - Bullitt County line. When they arrived, they were met with a strong chemical smell. While at the home, they encountered 22-year-old Clayton M. Sherrard, along with his wife, 21-year-old Kaylan J. Sherrard, and 25-year-old Carl A. Bowley.
Police say they told them there was a meth lab in the garage.
When a team of LMPD specialists arrived, they found a pot of methoil, aluminum foil, liquid fire, lithium battery casings, ammonium nitrate and an HCL gas generator in the home.
Police say they found a baby that was not even one-month-old in the home. The meth lab placed the baby in risk of "serious physical injury or death," according to the report. That baby was transported to Kosair Children's Hospital.
The infant was the child of the Sherrards, according to the report.
