According to the report, 25-year-old Erika Hurt of Hope allegedly overdosed in a store parking lot with her baby in the car. Marshall Matt Tallent told the newspaper that the incident happened Saturday afternoon in the Dollar General Store parking lot.
"When officers arrived, she actually had the needle in her hand," Tallent is quoted as saying.
