Michael Edward Truelove, 28, of Darwin was also in the home. Two filled hypodermic needles, which field-tested positive for methamphetamine, were found on his person. He also had an active warrant from Renville County and the Department of Corrections. He was arrested and taken to a Renville County officer, and charged with felony fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance.

Charges are pending on a fourth person.

The children were taken into custody.
