When deputies entered the home, they saw a baby lying on a mattress on the floor, according to a media release.
Deputies also saw a “meth bong”, a piece of glass with white powder residue, a razor blade, and a torch-style lighter, which led them to believe drug abuse was happening in the home.
Several guns were also found, including a “sawed off” 12-gauge shotgun.
The child was given to its mother.
James Parson was booked into jail on a warrant for trafficking in drugs, deputies said more charges are expected.
