GARDNER, Kan. -- State officials have suspended the license of a home day care in Gardner after police took the owner's adult son into custody on a charge of domestic battery and found evidence of a possible methamphetamine lab in the home, authorities said.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued an emergency order of suspension against the day care operated by Patricia D. Parker, according to a news release from the department.

Parker had taken care of children in the home at 131 N. Ott Lane in Gardner since December.

Thursday night, Gardner police went to the home after receiving a report about a domestic disturbance.

Police took Warren Vick, 37, into custody after they said he assaulted his parents.

While they were at the house investigating, they found possible evidence of a meth lab, so they got a search warrant and collected it, according to a news release from the Gardner Department of Public Safety's public information officer, Ilena Spalding.

Vick's two children were in the home when police arrived there Thursday night. The children were taken to a relative's home.

Friday, hazardous materials crews were at the home trying to determine whether the home was safe for habitation, according to police.

Vick made his first appearance in Johnson County Circuit Court, and he was in the Johnson County Jail on a $2,000 bond.

Approached outside the courthouse Friday, Parker said she didn't know there was a possible meth lab in her home.

She declined to answer some questions -- including ones about whether children were ever exposed to drugs in her home -- and she said she was unaware that the day care license had been suspended.

"I don't know that they have," Parker said. "That's fine, because I want the kids taken care of, and I didn't know it."
