According to surveillance video provided by the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Department, a black SUV could be seen pulling up to a Texaco station last Thursday morning.
Cops said they were there for about two hours until fire trucks pulled up, responding to an overdose call.
They discovered William Ballard, 36, and Delaney Crissinger, 32, unconscious in the front seats, while two young children, 5 years old and 18 months old, were secured in car seats in the back, according to a police statement.
It is unclear whether they are the parents of the two children.
Crissinger was allegedly carrying a clear bag of methamphetamine when first responders arrived to the scene. Deputies reported that they later discovered fentanyl, heroin and more methamphetamine, and a loaded syringe next to a container of baby formula in the car.
