Investigators said they found out that Kellum had provided two juveniles with methamphetamine and fentanyl-laced heroin, with the second minor being another relative.

The sheriff’s office said the mother surrendered herself to Onslow County Sheriff’s Office shortly after.

Kellum was transported to the Onslow County Detention Center under “NO BOND”.
