LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Two men are facing several charges after Louisville Metro Police say they were dealing heroin with a 15-month-old in the backseat.
According to police reports, 27-year-olds Tony Booker and Kevin Lee were arrested for the attempted selling of heroin to undercover narcotics detectives.

Police say they were stunned to find Booker’s 15-month-old daughter lying face down in the back seat without a child safety restraint.
Although Booker admitted to having and selling heroin, he said the drugs were fake.
Police recovered a bag of marijuana from the vehicle and cash nearing $900.
Booker and Lee are charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, endangering the welfare of a minor, and possession of marijuana.
Booker’s daughter was released to her mother’s custody.
