This morning the Clark County Grand Jury announced the indictments of Brian P. Atkinson-Turner and Kathryn T. Ogara on four charges, including child neglect, conspiracy to violate the controlled substance act, possession of controlled substance with intent to sell, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The state alleges that Ogara on August 7, 2007 placed a two-year-old child in a situation where she might have been injured by seating her unrestrained in the front seat of a motor vehicle with an unsecured loaded firearm in the front of the vehicle. In addition, both defendants have been accused of placing the child near loaded firearms, narcotics paraphernalia and near a marijuana growing operation. Further, the state alleges Atkinson-Turner and Ogara set up their house for growing marijuana and conspired to then sell the drug.
Atkinson-Turner and Ogara next appear for arraignment in the District Court Arraignment Courtroom at 1:30 p.m. on October 17, 2007. The case, 07C237532C, has been assigned to District Court Judge Donald Mosley, Department 14. Bail in the amount of $11,400 for both defendants, which was originally posted in Las Vegas Township Justice Court, was transferred to the District Court case.
