CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J. — Police say a 4-year-old New Jersey girl called 911 to report her father had passed out in their car.
Cliffside Park police say 41-year-old Jamil Graham, of Englewood Cliffs, was charged with child endangerment, being under the influence of alcohol and several motor vehicle offenses. Police say a half-full bottle of vodka was found in the car.
Authorities say the girl called 911 at around 9:30 p.m. Saturday. Officers tracked the cellphone signal to find Graham’s car.
The child was not harmed and was turned over to a relative.
A telephone number for Graham could not be located Monday, and it wasn’t known if he’s retained an attorney.
Graham also allegedly failed several field sobriety tests and had a 0.22 blood-alcohol content, police told Northjersey.com. His young daughter was sent to a family member. He was taken to the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack, where he is being held on $50,000 bail.
