Doubt over the accuracy of court-ordered drug tests could have widespread implications for Utahns

PROVO, Utah — A Utah County couple says almost no one has believed them as they’ve tried to sound the alarm on what they believe to be false positive results from court-ordered drug tests.

Jones and Nicholas Hulse are involved in a case within Utah’s child welfare system. Their children have been living in foster care for months, as the two work on their sobriety.

Utah’s Division of Child and Family Services was preparing to move forward with a trial home placement, allowing the children to return home just in time for the new school year. Those plans changed when Jones tested positive for methamphetamine.

Last week, during an expedited evidentiary hearing in the case, Jones claimed she was not using drugs and that positive test results in June and July were wrong.
