NAPA (CBS SF) -- A Napa couple was arrested Wednesday night after being found in possession of drugs and needles within reach of a 1-year-old child, police said Thursday.
Ambrosia Jane Jischke and Brice Howard Trask, both of whom are 27-year-old residents of Napa, were in a vehicle on the 2000 block of Shurtleff Avenue when officers were dispatched to investigate a report of suspicious circumstances around 8:25 p.m., police said.
Jischke's 1-year-old daughter was climbing out a backseat window when officers arrived. Both suspects showed signs of being under the influence of a drug, according to police.
