At approximately 1015 Friday night, Sheriff’s Officers lodged the Grandmother - 49-year old Julie Roberts in the Adams County Jail for Obstruction of Justice.

 

The young girl's uncle - 32-year old Daniel Roberts was jailed for Endangering the Life of a Child, Possession of Weapon by a Felon, and Obstruction of Justice.

 

They will be held pending their court appearance tomorrow.
