Fact: A Kentucky man, Larry Long age 33 was high on marijuana and drunk on whiskey put his 5-week-old son in the oven Sunday and left him there overnight, police said. In a statement by McCracken County Sheriff Jon Hayden, Larry Long returned home after smoking marijuana at the restaurant where he works as a cook to share a fifth of whiskey with the baby's mother, Brandy Hatton. At 5:30 the next morning, Hatton awoke to the sound of the baby's cries coming from the oven. The baby had been in it for several hours, police said.
Held: Police arrested Long and charged him with first degree wanton endangerment. He is being held on bail of $10,000. In Kentucky, a person is guilty of wanton endangerment in the first degree when, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engages in conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another.
