A Union man is facing charges after two children tested positive for methamphetamine.
According to the incident report, the Union County Sheriff's Office was first contacted on April 27, 2020, by Union County D.S.S. of a case where two children tested positive for methamphetamine.
The mother of the children proved very cooperative in the investigation and freely submitted to the same drug test her children were given.
Her test came back negative for any illicit drugs.
The father of the children, Matthew Phillip Gregory, spoke to D.S.S. but did not submit to a drug test initially.
Investigation showed the children, ages 12 and 5, had been staying with their father while their mother worked second shift at a local manufacturing company.
The warrants were signed on April 29th, drawing from D.S.S. investigation and Gregory's continued failure to cooperate with the D.S.S. drug test.
Gregory was charged with unlawful exposure of child to methamphetamine and unlawful neglect of a child or helpless person.
