A car stop didn’t end well for this Georgia dad.
When 24-year-old Detavis Madison was pulled over for driving with his infant daughter on his lap down a highway, he allegedly put the 3-month-old girl on the floor of his car and told police he was the only person in the vehicle, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Madison’s attempt at hiding the child didn’t fool police, who quickly found her.
Officers then discovered a stolen handgun beneath the baby after lifting her up, the news outlet reported.
During the police search, officers also allegedly found marijuana and at least 500 ecstasy pills in the shape of Lego characters, the paper reported.
“This is obviously a dangerous situation for that baby on many fronts,” said Snellville police Lt. John Tainter. “We are just glad it turned out for the best.”
The girl was given to her mother after Madison was hauled off to jail.
Madison faces a slew of charges, including possession of a firearm and transporting a child in a passenger vehicle without a restraining system.
