According to police, at around 4 p.m., officers were sent to the Babies R Us parking lot for a report of suspicious activity.

When the officers arrived, they found an employ vehicle “but noticed numerous syringes and drug paraphernalia strewn about inside and outside the vehicle.” A little while later, a man and woman with a small child exited the store and got into the vehicle. Officers then made contact with the pair and determined they were allegedly under the influence of drugs, according to the report.

“While dealing with the adults, the 2-year-old was playing with the female’s purse, reaching in and out of it,” according to Deputy Chief Shawn Patten. “Officers took the purse and observed an uncapped syringe inside it.”
