A responding deputy found Crisler driving with a suspended license and an open container of alcohol in the front seat while his four-year-old child was in the vehicle without a booster seat.

The child’s mother arrived on scene and took the child into custody, officials said. Crisler admitted to using methamphetamine and was found in possession of a pipe and suspected methamphetamines.

Crisler was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia, and an open container, along with child endangerment and driving with a suspended license.
