DELAND, Fla. – Authorities say a Florida couple had a toddler girl inside a roach-infested car while they were using drugs.
The DeLand Police Department arrested 30-year-old David Dexter and 28-year-old Christian Wilson on child abuse and drug possession charges. The 2-year-old girl was turned over to family after receiving care for a neck wound from a cigarette burn that had attracted insects.
