A 31-year-old Independence man is facing multiple felony charges after authorities were dispatched to the report of a female calling 9-1-1 and saying she needed a doctor in Lafayette County.

A Lexington Police report says on Sunday, June 5, 2022, an officer was notified while en route that the female had taken an edible and did not feel right.

The officer says there were three teenage females at the residence, and one had her eyes closed and was swaying back and forth on a couch and did not respond when she was asked her name.

The girl had taken a THC gummy, which allegedly was supplied by Patrick Jamal Taylor. The other girls brought some other gummies to the officer. Taylor was arrested.

Court documents say Taylor is charged with three counts of a felony for delivery of a controlled substance and three felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Bond is fixed at $25,000 cash or surety.

Taylor pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on Tuesday, June 7. His next hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. June 22, at Lafayette County Circuit Court.
