Baby Girl Hospitalized with BAC of 0.383 in Florida, Parents Arrested
Doctors said the infant likely would have died without immediate treatment after a Child Protection Team found neglect and abuse, court records show.
- On September 17, Pasco County authorities arrested Jessie Lee Waldroup and Denise Leann Uzunboylu on felony child neglect charges after their 6-month-old daughter was hospitalized with a potentially fatal blood alcohol level of 0.383.
- Investigators determined the parents used a water bottle containing vodka to mix the infant's formula after a beach trip, despite their initial claims that they did not consume alcohol or keep any in their home.
- On Sept. 8, the child's 7-year-old brother discovered the unresponsive infant, prompting an emergency call. Medical personnel reported the child was "critical but stable," noting she likely would have died without immediate intervention.
- Despite Uzunboylu claiming the abdominal marks were a rash, the Child Protection Team confirmed findings of neglect and abuse, with doctors identifying bruising deemed "highly suspicious for non-accidental trauma."
- Waldroup and Uzunboylu each posted $10,000 bail while awaiting further court proceedings; they could face penalties ranging from five years to 30 years if found guilty, according to legal experts.
