DAYTONA BEACH — A man and woman were arrested on child abuse and various drug charges after a search warrant uncovered cocaine, syringes, marijuana and paraphernalia scattered throughout their home, police said.
When police executed their search warrant Thursday afternoon, they discovered three children in the house, including an infant who was found in a crib in the master bedroom, according to an arrest report.
Eric Snook, 28, and Devon Reed, 26, were booked at the Volusia County Branch Jail. Snook's bail was set at $19,000 and Reed's was set at $2,500.
Snook told Daytona Beach police that he had a cocaine problem and admitted to all of the paraphernalia in the house being his, according to an arrest report.
Among the items seized in the home were a wooden box containing marijuana and glass smoking devices; at least five syringes; a bottle of Klonopin, a medication to treat panic disorders and anxiety; a cocaine spoon, 10.7 grams of cocaine and a metal grinder with marijuana residue, police said.
Many of the seized items were found in the master bedroom where the infant was located, according to the report.
The address of the home was redacted from the report, but police stated the home was within 1,000 feet of Sunnyland Park, 825 Washington St., which resulted in Snook being charged with possession of cocaine within 1,000 of a park, which is a third-degree felony.
Police said they also found multiple syringes inside the home underneath the children's toilet bowl.
