A report on the Long Island Press may cause people to shake their heads in frustration. A 26-year-old man from Medford was caught with heroin – which he tried to hide near his two kids in the back seat.
The man was identified in the report as Richard Neumann. Based on information provided by the Suffolk County police, Neumann was pulled over while driving eastbound on Montauk Highway in Patchogue. The officer who approached the vehicle claimed that he noticed that Neumann was trying to hide something near the car seats of his children, 18-month-old twins, a boy and a girl. The “something” turned out to be heroin and a hypodermic needle.
Neumann was charged with the following, as listed on the report: two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, criminal possession of a control substance, criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument, criminal possession of stolen property and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
The twins have since been released to the custody of their mother.
