A grandfather believed to have been under the influence, and his wife were arrested on child endangerment charges Sunday, after deputies located prescription medication in their 3-year-old grandchild’s bedroom.  

On Sunday, deputies responded to the 18100 block of American Beauty Drive in Canyon Country regarding a suspected child abuse report call, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. 

“Upon arrival, deputies contacted the grandparents of the 3-year-old victim,” Arriaga said. “They observed the grandfather had signs and symptoms similar to someone under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and the grandmother was unable to care for the child.” 

During the deputies’ investigation, they noticed the child had access to several medication bottles left within his room, according to Arriaga. 

Bradford and Cheryl Jordan, both 59, from Santa Clarita, were arrested for child endangerment, Arriaga said.

The two were arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s jail with the grandfather’s bail set at $250,000 and the grandmother’s bail set at $100,000, according to arrest records.
