HOLIDAY — A 26-year-old woman is accused of taking drugs and passing out in a car in the parking lot of a pool hall with a 6-year-old girl in the vehicle.
Candice L. Hance had taken narcotic prescription pills and fell asleep for about 25 minutes, with the car running and the doors unlocked, Thursday morning at Hammer Heads Billiard Lounge, 1916 U.S. 19, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. A report states Hance went to the pool lounge to drop off a friend for work and then Hance was supposed to take the 6-year-old girl to school.
She admitted to stealing prescription drugs before the incident, the report states.
Hance, of 1434 Solar Drive in Holiday Lake Estates, was arrested and charged with child neglect. She is being held at the Pasco County jail in lieu of $5,000 bail.
