JENKINS, Ky. — A Letcher County man is in jail, after two children had adverse reactions to a vape pen he allegedly gave to them.

A sheriff’s deputy was at the Jenkins Day Festival last Saturday, when he was approached by a child who said another he had found a boy covered in vomit lying unconscious in an alley. The deputy soon found the boy as described, as well as a witness who described what happened.

The witness told the officer that a man had given the boy a vape pen, and when the boy took a puff of it, he threw up and passed out. The witness said the man had also given the vape pen to a girl, who had been taken to the emergency room after she took a puff from it.

The deputy soon identified Bertley Willis Mullins, 18, of Jenkins, as his suspect, and reportedly found him with a vape pen matching the description of the one given to the children.

Mullins was arrested with possession of an unspecified drug, unlawful transaction with a minor and first-degree wanton endangerment. He is being held in the Letcher County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
