That a man pulled over his car to shoot up and wound up overdosing on heroin doesn’t bother me. It’s that he pulled over to shoot up…while his one-year old child was strapped in his car set.
Police found the man, identified only by the name Merriman, 28, unconscious in the driver’s seat of his car on Saturday afternoon on Woodford Road in Pleasant Ridge at around 1:30 p.m.
Cinnicannti.com reports that the car engine was running when Merriman was discovered.
Police say that sitting in his lap was the syringe he used to administer the drugs .
The man tried to escape the hospital, but that didn’t work out well for him. Besides the drug charges, he’s also being charged with endangering a child…that he hopefully won’t be allowed to see for a very long time.
