Jeannette man charged after two young children found home alone with drugs in plain view

Jeannette Police responded about 1 p.m. on June 25, 2026 to a Stella Street home and found a 7-year-old and a 5-year-old alone; a child told officers the adult caregiver, Joshua Warren, left for work around 5 a.m. Officers reported seeing a tinfoil smoking pipe, a digital scale with marijuana residue and a lighter in reach, and later observed two plastic bags of suspected psilocybin mushrooms in a coffee table compartment. Westmoreland County Children’s Bureau was contacted, a relative took supervision of the children, and Warren, 33, faces charges of endangering the welfare of children, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia; these are allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
