ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — The parents of a 1-month-old boy were arrested after the baby was left in the median of Pecos Street in Adams County on Christmas Day.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office said a Good Samaritan called 911 around 9:20 a.m. after finding the baby in the area of 7490 Pecos Street.
The boy was taken to Children’s Hospital Colorado as a precaution.
The child appears to be 1-month-old and was found in a car seat/ carrier wearing only a diaper, according to ACSO. The sheriff’s office said the baby appears to be mixed race or Hispanic.
Detectives have canvassed the neighborhood and are looking to speak to anyone who may have been in the area when the baby was left. Investigators are also seeking surveillance camera videos of nearby businesses or dashcam videos from drivers who were around the area at the time.
