A well-being check of three children at a residence on Jamestown's south side led to the arrest of two city women Tuesday evening. Jamestown Police say they were called to the scene at about 7:15 PM while working a domestic violence STRIVE detail. Officers say 31-year-old Mary Elizabeth Gillen and 65-year-old Pamela Gillen were taken into custody after determining that the three children in the home were living in deplorable conditions. Both women were charged with endangering the welfare of a child and were held pending arraignment in Jamestown City Court. The three children were turned over to a family member.
