Lyon County Sheriff’s Office arrested another a pair of adults after children were found living in substandard conditions. 42 year old David Helmick faces charges of felony child abuse, living in a recreational vehicle without a permit, and obstructing a police officer. They also arrested 31 year old Mairenel Hadley, on similar charges. Both were also arrested on outstanding misdemeanor warrants.
They were living in an RV on 2nd avenue in Yerington, on someone else’s property. Detectives found that they had illegally tapped into city water and sewer line. The children involved were 13, 7 and 18 months old. Another couple was arrested under similar circumstances just days ago.
