An Independence man is arrested for distribution and child endangerment.

Late last week, Independence Police officers along with Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies, and the KBI served a search warrant at 41-year-old Curtis Brashar’s residence. The search warrant resulted from an investigation into the suspected overdose of a juvenile in Independence.

Officers seized several items including drug paraphernalia, various powdery and crystalline substances, pills believed to be Xanax or a similar controlled substance, marijuana plants, marijuana and a firearm. IPD arrested Brashar on numerous drug-related charges as well as aggravated endangering of a child and contributing to a child's misconduct.
