Two Smithville parents were arrested and charged with child abuse. Brandi and Dustin Matthew Brewer were arrested on Jan. 10, 2021.

The charges come after the Department of Children’s Services were advised that the Brewers were exposing their four year-old son to drugs. DCH gathered a hair sample in November and sent to the laboratory for testing. The test came back positive for methamphetamine.

The Brewer's bond was set at $10,000 each, and they are both to appear in court Feb. 1, 2021.
