Georgia couple passed out drunk on Daytona, Fla., beach when they were arrested for child neglect, police say

A Georgia couple was arrested after police said they found them passed out drunk on a Florida beach as their two young children ran amok.

Alyssia Langley, 27, and her fiancé, Timothy Stephens, 27, were arrested and charged with child neglect. Stephens also faces charges for trying to elude police and drinking alcohol on the beach, according to online arrest records. Fox 35News reported.

The sunburned couple was out along the beach Saturday when deputies from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office approached them, a moment shown in body camera footage released by the department.

It reportedly took deputies at least eight attempts to wake the two very intoxicated men.

When they finally arrived and were asked where their children were, the couple didn’t seem to have a clue. The children – aged 5 and 7 – were later found near the pool, unsupervised but safe.

Body camera footage shows the officers trying to wake the couple. One of the deputies shouts at them to “wake up” and introduces himself as a member of the police.

An open beer can was found near Stephens’ hand, along with several empty beer cans and an empty whiskey bottle in a nearby cooler, “and other unsealed alcoholic beverages in the immediate vicinity,” according to a arrest affidavit.

At one point, Langley tells officers that her children are “right there” as she points to the shore. A deputy follows Stephens out into the surf as he searches for his children.

Langley and Stephens are engaged, but according to the arrest affidavit, Stephens is not the biological father, but the legal guardian of the children.

In one obtained video, a visibly agitated Langley can be heard telling his fiancée, “Who the hell is going to bail us out?”

She calls the cops “assholes” and says the only one was nice to the couple. She said they were going to jail and her grandfather had to drive eight hours for the kids.

As officers told Langley to get into their vehicle, Stephens began running in handcuffs. He only traveled a few dozen yards while being chased by deputies before falling face-first in the sand.

His bruises were clearly visible in his photo after his arrest.

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood shared his anguish with Fox 35 Orlando.

“It boggles my mind that you would drive here and be devastated and allow a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old to drive away,” he said.

“When we wonder what we see, why children are the way they are, we have to step back and look at who is in charge.

And clearly, these two clowns should not be responsible for… they cannot be responsible for themselves, much less a five or seven year old child,” he said.
