Police: Father Was Passed Out In Nearby Room

BRUNSWICK, Maine -- Brunswick police tell News 8 that a 2-year-old boy was found drinking a beer while his father was passed out in a bedroom.
Police say a relative of the child went to check on the toddler Wednesday afternoon. When no one answered the door to the room where the child and father were staying at the Tedford Housing family shelter on Federal Street, the person went to the staff for help so they could enter the apartment.

Once inside, they found the child in the living room drinking from a can of beer. The child's father, Shane Sawler, 35, was passed out in a bedroom, police say.
Police say Sawler was intoxicated, yelled at police and was belligerent. Police say they had to use physical force to restrain him. Sawler was taken to Mid Coast Hospital where he spent the night for observation.
