A Georgia couple was charged in the death of their four-week-old baby after the father allegedly put alcohol in the child’s bottle, the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
The Sheriffs office included their findings in a publically released report:
“During the evening of April 13, 2022, Detectives executed a search warrant at 51 Hillcrest Drive Hiram, GA 30141 (Hillcrest Subdivision) which is where the parents of the child live in a basement apartment. During the course of the search warrant, Detectives located evidence of the crime as well as a firearm. Colvin, who is a convicted felon, is not allowed to be in close proximity or possess a firearm.
On April 14, 2022, hospital officials indicated that the child had passed away as a result of its condition. Doctors further advised that the child had a quantity of alcohol in its system that was well over four times the legal limit for an adult. As a result of the search warrant, combined with the interviews of Dunn and Colvin, both individuals were placed under arrest without incident…”
