Five children who were unrestrained in a moving vehicle were taken by DHS after their parents were discovered to be under the influence of methamphetamine, police said.

William and Tracy Duncan, who are both 38, were arrested on charges of possession of meth and child endangerment after police stopped their vehicle when they saw that none of their children, who range in age from 5 to 10 years old, was wearing a seat belt, police said.

A McMinnville police officer saw the vehicle driving on Highway 99W with the five unrestrained children at about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday and pulled it over near the Paragon Motel.

The officer realized that the Duncans were both under the influence of methamphetamine and after investigating further found meth inside the vehicle and in a motel room the couple had rented, police said.

The five children were taken into protective custody and the parents were taken to Yamhill County Correctional Facility.
