UPDATE:
Two people are facing several charges of child endangerment after their home on Quincy Street was busted Tuesday for allegedly being used as a meth lab.

Around 11:30 Tuesday night, members of the Parkersburg Narcotics Task Force say they located a methamphetamine lab in the upstairs floor of a home on Quincy Street.
