Beer was also located in the bottom carrier of the stroller. McQueen told police the reported attempt to give away the child was only a joke.

The children’s’ mother was contacted and they were placed in her care.  At approximately 7:50 a.m. on Sunday, McQueen was arrested for public intoxication a second time, after being found asleep on the floor of a restroom at Sparky’s Convenience Store in the 1500 block of Plaza Drive.
