A Butler Township couple was sentenced to probation Thursday in Butler County Common Pleas Court after pleading guilty to endangering the welfare of children.

Joshua C. Rock, 31, and Shanna R. Rock, 34, were sentenced to serve 42 months of probation and pay $100 fines by Judge Maura Palumbi.

Township police filed charges after responding July 9 to a residence on Colonial Avenue for a report of a woman who had possibly overdosed. Police arrived and found two children, age 8 and 5, sitting outside the residence.

Police entered the residence and found Joshua Rock upstairs on the floor outside a bathroom holding Shanna Rock. He told police the children found her unresponsive. Butler Ambulance Service then arrived and transported Shanna Rock to Butler Memorial Hospital.

Police said they located a partial blue stamp bag and two straws with residue on the bathroom shelf and partial blue stamp bags on the sink and floor.

In one bedroom, police said they found more empty stamp bags and aluminum foil with residue on top of a dresser. More empty stamp bags were found on the dresser and floor of another bedroom. A small amount of marijuana and three straws with residue also was found.

Police said the drug paraphernalia was easily accessible to and within reach of the children.
