Two children were found Thursday evening after state police said they were endangered when their biological parents removed them from a placement through Greene County Children and Youth Services.

Trooper Forrest Allison said the children — ages 5 and 3 — were in the agency’s custody at a home placement when Johnathan C. Fannon, 30, of Waynesburg, and Brandi R. Stump, 25, of Denbo, took them and fled Pennsylvania. Allison said around 7 p.m. that the children were found safe and thanked law enforcement in Morgantown, W.Va. and Monongalia County.

The parents were taken into custody, he said.

Stump and Fannon are charged with interference with custody of children and child endangerment in connection with an incident Thursday in Centerville, Washington County, according to online court records.
