Prosecutors withdrew felony charges against two people whose toddler suffered seizures on April 9 after eating methamphetamine while they slept.

Two days later, the toddler remained in the hospital, medically sedated and in critical condition.Her blood tested positive for methamphetamine, MDMA (also known as Ecstasy), and amphetamine.The baby’s current condition is not known.Her parents, John A. Kemmerer, 26, and Leanne E. Popp, 24, ofPueblo Drive in Wayne Township, are free on $25,000 bail.Both face misdemeanor charges in Schuylkill County court.Kemmerer, represented by public defender Claude A. Lord Shields, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Monday before District Judge James R. Ferrier of Orwigsburg.He posted bail through a bondsman.Popp, represented by public defender Christopher M. Riedlinger, on May 2 waived her right to a preliminary hearing.Her bail was reduced to unsecured, meaning she did not have to post cash or property to go free.Trooper Mark Knock of the state police barracks in Schuylkill Haven charged Popp and Kemmerer with three felony counts of aggravated assault; and misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangerment, simple assault, and possession of drug paraphernalia.The felony charges were dropped.According to an affidavit of probable cause filed by Knock, he arrived the couple’s home at about 11 a.m. April 9 on a report that a 22-month-old girl had eaten methamphetamine and was unresponsive.Emergency medical crews had flown her to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Cedar Crest.Knock interviewed Popp about an hour later at the barracks. She told the trooper she and Kemmerer had snorted a line of crystal meth through a straw from a piece of glass.She told him she remembered going to sleep next to the toddler, only to be awakened some time later by Kemmerer yelling that the baby had found the bag containing the drug and was eating it. He grabbed the bag from her, but about two minutes later, the baby began having a seizure.Popp called 911, and gave the drug bag to emergency medical crews when they arrived.Knock then interviewed Kemmerer, who told him he went to bed between 11 p.m. and midnight the previous night. Popp was already in bed and asleep, he said.Kemmerer said he woke to find his daughter eating a “white substance” from a plastic bag.Kemmerer told Knock he didn’t know what the substance was, and that he had only ever seen cocaine once, when he was in high school.He told the trooper he had only smoked marijuana and “accidentally” took two bars of Xanax.Kemmerer denied using methamphetamine. He refused to take a blood test and walked out of the barracks.Later that day, police searched the couple’s home, and found a bag with methamphetamine, plastic tubing containing marijuana, two plastic containers with drug paraphernalia, two homemade smoking pipes, a glass smoking bong, assorted plastic bags, a piece of glass and a cut straw, each containing methamphetamine residue.
