54-year-old Jason Warren has been arrested for leaving his 7-year-old granddaughter in the custody of a homeless man so that he could get drunk.

Police responded to the scene when a report of a 54-year-old man “asking people for help because his 7-year-old granddaughter had been kidnapped for human trafficking.”

Officers described the grandfather as 'highly intoxicated."

“He told Deputies that he had given an unknown homeless woman $20 to take his granddaughter to a nearby thrift store while he went into the bar approximately four hours earlier. Deputies quickly obtained video surveillance footage of the woman leaving with the child.”

“Approximately a half hour after the search was underway, the woman heard the PA announcements from STAR (the sheriff’s helicopter) and returned to the parking lot with the child, according to police. “The female confirmed that Warren had given her money to take the child to the thrift store. She went on to tell Deputies that Warren was highly intoxicated and she did not think he could care for the child. The female took the child to her “camp” to get food.”

Once the man’s granddaughter was found, deputies were able to speak with the child who corroborated the ordeal. The child was not in distress and was medically cleared by Fire Department personnel at the scene as a precaution, according to authorities.

“Through further investigation, deputies were able to determine that the child’s aunt had full custody of the child, but asked Warren to care for his granddaughter because she had to go to work,” police said following the incident. “Deputies conferred with Child Protective Services and determined the child was cleared to return home with her aunt.”

The lighting on that stache hair makes it look like a long wet booger.

My grandpa used to sit me on the bar with my doll and a root beer.
