The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office says Christina Conley, 30, was arrested Friday after a traffic stop in London. They pulled her over while deputies were investigating a theft.

The sheriff’s office says it found feces, open sharp food containers throughout the home, as well as spoiled meat.
Deputies say they located the reported stolen battery tray inside Conley’s SUV. She is charged with wanton endangerment, receiving stolen property, possession of burglary tools, operating a motor vehicle under the influence, failure to wear seatbelts, booster seat violations, failure of owner to maintain required insurance and other traffic violation.
The children were taken were placed with other family members by social services, the sheriff’s office says.
