Alabama police find heroin in toddler’s diaper

Police in Alabama arrested a man after finding 14 grams of heroin hidden in his two-year-old daughter’s diaper, a discovery aided by a tip from the girl’s  five-year-old sister, authorities said on Tuesday.

Narcotics detectives in the Birmingham suburb of Irondale pulled over the car driven by 23-year-old Kenneth Bell on December 8, on suspicion he was moving drugs, said Irondale Police spokesman Detective Michael Mangina.

A drug-sniffing dog detected the presence of narcotics in the car, and police ordered Bell, his two daughters and their mother out of the vehicle.

Bell’s elder daughter then told detectives that “Daddy put something in sister’s diaper,” Mangina said.
