PADUCAH, Ky. (CBS/AP) Police in western Kentucky say Larry Long left his 5-week-old son in a oven, probably for a matter of hours, but never turned it on.
The Paducah Sun reported the 33-year-old father told police he had smoked marijuana at a Paducah restaurant where he works and then came home and had a couple of drinks.
McCracken County Sheriff Jon Hayden said the mother of the 5-week-old boy was awakened by his cries Monday morning and found him the cold oven.
The baby was taken to a hospital where doctors found no injuries.
Long shares the home with the child's mother, 33-year-old Brandy S. Hatton.
The newspaper reported child welfare officials placed the infant and his 10- and 14-year-old siblings in the care of one of Hatton's relatives.
Long is charged with wanton endangerment.
