Bossier City police have arrested a man and woman after their 1-year-old son tested positive for amphetamines.

Police say 33-year-old David Bryant Keith and 29-year-old Jessica Lea Hudson were arrested by the department's Juvenile Unit for felony cruelty to a juvenile.

Arrest warrants were issues after an investigation that began two weeks ago, when staff at Willis Knighton-Bossier contacted police regarding the couple's son. Police learned the couple had taken the little boy to the emergency room June 22 after he appeared to be ill.

Medical tests found the boy had amphetamines in his system. He was transferred to WK-South and has since been released to the care of relatives.
