SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A hit and run led police to South Blauvelt Avenue last night where a husband and wife were arrested after officers found hashish and two pounds of marijuana in their home.
Officer Sam Clemens says 28-year-old Thomas Frederick Bickett and 30-year-old Rose Helen Bickett face felony drug charges and three counts of child abuse and neglect. Clemens says the couple's children a 7 year old boy, a 3 year old girl and an 8 month old girl were turned over to relatives.
He says the Bickett’s van was in a hit-and-run where it was traveling 40 miles an hour in reverse when it hit a car downtown on Mall Avenue.
Witnesses got the van’s license plate leading police to the Bicketts who say they loaned the van to a friend.
