BOSCOBEL, Wisc. —

An Iowa couple has been charged with child neglect after Wisconsin police said they found a child sleeping in a portable meth lab.

Officials said the couple was pulled over by Wisconsin police officers Saturday at 6:10 p.m. for not wearing their seat belts.

 Upon approaching Patrick and Deanna Hogan, authorities noticed signs of drug use on Patrick Hogan and requested a search of the car along with backup, authorities said.

Patrick Hogan, 30, was arrested on possession of methamphetamine, manufacture of methamphetamine, felon in possession of a firearm, and child neglect.

Deanna. Hogan, 29, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and child neglect. Both were transported to the Grant County Jail without incident. The child was released to a family member shortly after the arrest.
