On 11/09/2025 at approximately 2008 hours, I Ofc. Lyles was dispatched to 24 Bullsboro Dr in reference to a suspicious subject. The caller advised that a male was on scene drinking and stating he was going to drive. The caller stated there was a small child who was left alone in the vehicle while the male was drinking.

Upon arrival, I made contact with a Black male identified as Damien Ware next to a white Dodge hatchback. Inside the hatchback was a young child in a car seat. The vehicle was running. After speaking with Sgt. Warren, it was discovered that Mr. Ware left the child in the vehicle and bought a beer, then went behind a dumpster to drink. The beer was located behind the dumpster in a brown bag, almost completely empty. Mr. Ware stated he had been drinking and that it was his beer.

At this time, Mr. Ware stated that he was here with a female and was “just watching the child.” Mr. Ware had a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his breath and was unable to fully answer any questions.
