A man and woman were arrested by Apopka police for their part in allegedly leaving two young children home alone with crack cocaine, but no food. The 25-year-old woman is mother to the children and a guard for the state Department of Juvenile Justice. She has been charged with sale or delivery of cocaine, possession of marijuana, child neglect and being an accessory after the fact. The 25-year-old man is the woman's boyfriend and was allegedly on the run for almost two weeks before he was found. He has been charged with possession of cocaine, child neglect and driving with a suspended license.

According to police, the six-year-old son went to a neighbor's house to say he was hungry and alone with his six-month old brother. The neighbor then called police and alleged that the man was a drug dealer. Law enforcement officers allegedly found rock cocaine and a razor blade in the apartment.

The mother denies any drugs were in the apartment and that investigators are wrong. It is her apartment and her boyfriend lives with her. She also denied knowing where her boyfriend was when police were looking for him, but admitted speaking with him on the phone. Apopka police also allege seeing her throw several pieces of crack cocaine in the grass when she got out of the car her boyfriend was driving last week.
