The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports charges were filed against Jonathan

Welborn and 26-year-old Brittany Nichole Hairston also face counts of
first-degree endangering the welfare of a minor.
Saline County authorities say deputies were dispatched Wednesday night to a
house where they found a truck submerged with its lights on in a pond across the
road. Officials found the children still strapped in their car seats.
Deputies learned that Welborn and Hairston were playing pool inside the house
when the truck rolled across the highway and into the pond.
