An Altoona man is now facing child endangerment and drug charges after police said they found meth in a deplorable home. David Winters Jr., 34 has been charged with endangering the welfare of children and possession of a controlled substance after police said they were called a residence at the 900 block of 3rd Avenue on Thursday at 9:36 p.m., according to the charges filed by Altoona police.
Police then went to talk to Winters who was standing next to a 2022 silver Chevy SUV that also had his 2-year-old child in it. Police called Blair Children and Youth services who said that the child was going to have to be removed from the house. When police were trying to find items in the house that the child would need, they found a binder that had a bag of meth, drug paraphernalia and 9mm ammo. Winters is now in the Blair County prison.
