Articles labeled: drug possession

The father of a toddler that was found naked wandering along a busy street has been charged with child neglect and — quelle surprise! — drug possession. What makes this story especially notable is that it’s the SECOND TIME IT’S HAPPENED THIS WEEK.

Glen DeCocker, 26, of South Bend was booked Thursday on a felony count of child neglect and two misdemeanors, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia, said St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Banicki. He was released Saturday on $1,000 bond.

An employee at a Speedway gas station and several customers told police they saw DeCocker’s naked 2-year-old son walking near the station Thursday night along a busy section of Indiana 933.

Officers had responded to a similar call at the same location involving the same boy on Tuesday.
