Dad Shot Up Heroin With Daughter in Car: Cops

West Hartford police charged a father with shooting up heroin with his 1-year-old daughter in his car.

Joshua Turney, 26, was arrested Friday, hours after police in Bristol had issued a missing child alert for Turney's daughter, Whitney.

Turney took his daughter from Divinity Street in Bristol around 8:30 a.m. Friday, and family members became concerned for the girl's well-being.

Officers found Turney shooting up in his car with his daughter in the car later that day, West Hartford police said.

Turney was charged with Drug Possession, Risk of Injury to a Minor and Reckless Endangerment. He was held on a $50,000 bond.
