SC parents arrested after four children, including 2-year-olds, test positive for cocaine
Two Loris area parents were arrested months after their four children tested positive for illicit drugs, according to Horry County Police reports.
Patrick Hemingway, 38, and Monica Goris-Pizarro, 32, were each arrested on Dec. 6 for four counts of unlawful conduct toward a child. The pair have four children together — a 9-year-old, a 4-year-old and two 2-year-olds, arrest warrants show.
Both parents and the four children all tested positive for marijuana and cocaine earlier this year. The arrest warrants were issued in October, and Hemingway and Goris-Pizarro were arrested in December.
It is unclear why the parents and children were tested for drugs.
Hemingway and Goris-Pizarro were released Dec. 6 from the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on a $10,000 bond.
