Two people were found unconscious in a car in a Mary Esther parking lot on Wednesday, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.
A 5-month-old unrestrained child was in the back seat and within reach of drug paraphernalia, investigators say.
They say the man and woman, parked off Page Bacon Road, appeared to be suffering overdoses and drug paraphernalia was in plain view.
Charges against Navarre area residents 23-year old Randy Smith and 22-year old Alexis Freeman include trafficking in fentanyl, possession of heroin and oxycodone, child neglect, and more.
The baby, who had been removed from the car by concerned bystanders prior to the arrival of deputies, was evaluated and found to be uninjured.
