A newborn baby was found abandoned on the side of the road in Colorado, leading to the arrest of the baby's parents. The parents, Thurman and Sims, were reportedly involved in an argument before the incident.
A woman who found a newborn baby abandoned on the side of the road in Colorado called police, leading to the arrest of the baby's parents. The baby's name and gender were redacted from the arrest affidavit. A woman who found the baby told police she saw a couple arguing around 8 a.m. in the 7400 block of Pecos Street and later saw a man walk to the median, put down a car seat and walk away.
The woman went over to the car seat and found a newborn baby inside wearing a diaper and yelled at the man to come back, to which he responded “That’s her kid, give it to her,” and continued walking away. Investigators later contacted the baby’s mother, Thurman, who told them she left the apartment she shares with Sims after they argued “about her intoxication levels.” Thurman told police she called her mom to pick her up and started walking southbound on Pecos when she saw Sims walking toward her with the baby in a car seat and set it down in the center median, but she kept walking south because she didn’t want “to create more problems.” Sims told investigators he took the baby outside and yelled at Thurman to get it but she refused, so he left the baby on the sidewalk and went home because “he had work in the morning.”The baby was taken to Children’s Hospital Colorado in Broomfield and appeared healthy but later tested positive for cocaine, according to the affidavit. The infant is being cared for and is safe, county officials said last week. Thurman was released on a $50,000 bail and is set to appear in court Feb. 7. Sims’ $50,000 bail was later lowered to $2,500, according to court records. He is still in custody and set to appear in court Feb.
