Police: Crying boy led officers to overdosed dad

UPPER DARBY, Pa. - May 10, 2011

Upper Darby police say the boy's crying drew the attention of commuters at the 69th Street Terminal on Sunday afternoon. Travelers alerted police, who were led to 29-year-old Adam Pugliese by the upset boy.

Officials say Pugliese, of Pottstown, was unconscious on the floor with a needle in his arm after overdosing on heroin.

Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood says paramedics revived Pugliese and he was arraigned on endangerment and drug charges after being released from a hospital.

Pugliese was unable to post bail. It was not clear if he had an attorney.
