Volusia County, Florida — On Tuesday, Volusia County sheriff’s deputies spotted a car associated with a stolen vehicle investigation. The driver hit a school zone sign and ran away, leaving an infant unattended in the front seat of the car, which was locked but still running. Deputies were able use tools provided by a neighbor to safely open the doors and check on the baby, who was later reunited with a family member.
The driver, 31-year-old Lucien Suprice of Deltona, was taken into custody a short distance away after breaking through a privacy fence. Deputies recovered a plastic baggie containing crack cocaine and a scale. Suprice was arrested and cited on charges including child neglect, possession of narcotics, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, careless driving, driving while license suspended/revoked, attaching a tag not assigned, leaving an unattended child in a vehicle, no child restraint and running a stop sign. Suprice was out of jail on $15,500.
