Parents allegedly pass out on beach, leave kids unsupervised

Deputies in Daytona Beach, Florida, arrested a mom and stepdad after they allegedly passed out on the beach, leaving their young children unattended with the stepfather later running away from cops while handcuffed before faceplanting into the sand.

It happened shortly before 3 p.m. on Saturday when someone called the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office saying a couple that apparently had “too much to drink” and had passed out on a towel on the beach. They had two kids with them who were not being cared for, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit.

Body camera footage obtained by Law&Crime showed a deputy walking up to the sleeping couple.

“‘Sup guys. Sheriff’s office. Time to wake up,” the deputy said. “Time to wake up!”

The couple didn’t move. The deputy bended down, checked the man’s pulse and shook him.

“TIME TO WAKE UP!” the deputy shouted.

Finally, the man and his fiance woke up from their slumber and looked at the deputy.

“Welcome back,” the deputy quipped.

Deputies asked for ID and whether their kids were with them. The dazed-looking dad got up and walked toward the water, looking for the kids, ages 6 and 7, but couldn’t find them. Eventually, the kids were found at the nearby Nautilus Inn pool, where they were swimming unsupervised.
