A Bee Spring man is facing several felony charges after being found passed out with a baby in the car in the parking lot of Ralph’s Market.
Monday afternoon at approximately 5:30, Grayson County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Zane Greer responded to Ralph’s Market, in the 10700 block of Anneta Road, and found 35-year-old Anthony Schatt passed out behind the wheel, with the car running and in reverse, as an unconscious Schatt had his foot on the brake.
His 14-month-old baby was in a car seat in the back of the vehicle.
Greer pulled in behind the suspect’s car upon arrival, and as Schatt woke up, he attempted to back his car up as Greer yelled at him, informing Schatt that he was parked behind him, according to police. Schatt then put the car in drive and began to go forward when Greer entered the car, took control and put the vehicle in park.
Schatt, according to police, was holding a syringe in his hand upon Greer arriving. Another syringe was also located in one of Schatt’s pockets. A gram of heroin was found during a search.
Schatt was arrested and charged with DUI (non-alcohol), possession of a controlled substance (heroin), felony wanton endangerment, possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in a motor vehicle, reckless driving, possession of drug paraphernalia, and license to be in possession.
He was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
Schatt’s baby was turned over to a family member.
Deputy Jason Luedke arrived and assisted Greer at the scene.
