A school bus was heading down Richmond Avenue when the driver noticed the toddler and called 911.
Officials tracked the little boy to a nearby house. Inside, they say they found the toddler’s mother, Courtney Draper, intoxicated.
She was arrested and charged with wanton endangerment.
A woman who emerged from the house a bit ago carrying a clipboard and wearing a badge just opened the door to the ambulance. From where I’m standing, I can hear cries from what sounds like a young child. @LEX18News pic.twitter.com/O9WfHEmI4V
