Parents Found Unconscious Inside Car With Children In The Backseat; Police Say Couple Had Cocaine, Heroin

Two parents in Texas were found unconscious inside their vehicle and their children were in the backseat. The couple was arrested and officials found cocaine and heroin in the possession of the parents.

Round Rock Police said in a statement the drugs in possession of the parents were cocaine and black tar heroin, as well as Xanax. Two babies were in the backseat and are said to be one-year-old and one-month-old.

Breitbart reported that they were found in a Target parking lot and were identified as Cory Holloman, 26, and Amirah Silver, 23. Officials said they were dispatched on Dec. 22 at the parking lot to conduct a welfare check on two people asleep in their vehicle. The parents were found unconscious in their front seat and the two kids were strapped in car seats at the back of the vehicle.

Holloman told officers that he and Silver were driving from Austin to Maryland and they stopped in the parking lot because they were tired since they have been traveling for three days with no sleep, Fox 35 reported. However, drugs and paraphernalia were found in their vehicle.

Track marks were also found on their arms, which are signs of chronic intravenous drug use. For the Xanax, it was found on the purse of Silver and she did not have a prescription for the pills.

The total amount of drugs found in the vehicle includes 9.5 grams of cocaine, 2.9 grams of black-tar heroin, and 2 and ¼ Xanax pills. For the paraphernalia, officers found two used syringes and three spoons with residue. All these items were said to be found in a box under one of the babies.

Holloman has been charged with a state jail felony for child endangerment with criminal negligence and two charges for drug possession of cocaine and heroin. The bond for Holloman was set at $20,000. In July 2016, Holloman was also charged with possession of a prohibited weapon.

Silver, on the other hand, was charged with state jail felony for child endangerment with criminal negligence and one drug charge. She has an outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor expired license plate violation.

Silver also had a previous charge of driving with an invalid license. The couple posted bond on Dec. 26 and have been released. No available details were provided regarding the two children and when they are due back in court.
