A Tiffin man wanted on warrants was arrested, with he and another resident charged with drug possession and child endangerment.

Officers went to the Kimberlite Street residence of 30-year-old Tahmir Allen just after midnight Sunday to take him into custody on active arrest warrants for violation of a no contact order, domestic abuse, harassment and eluding. Allen reportedly ran when he noticed authorities, and resisted their attempt to put him into handcuffs.

A search warrant was executed at the residence, where 1059 grams of marijuana was allegedly found. Two small children were at the residence, and appeared to be living there. Authorities say that several bags of marijuana were out in the open and able to be grabbed by the children.

Another person at the residence, 31-year-old Jasmine Baltimore, was also taken into custody.

The two are each charged with a controlled substance violation, failure to attach a tax stamp, and child endangerment. Those charges come with a maximum prison sentence of twelve years.  Allen was additionally charged with Interference with Official Acts, a simple misdemeanor. The charges that Allen was wanted for carry an additional prison sentence of over six years if convicted on all counts.
