The Division of Child Protection and Permanency was summoned to the apartment.
A 3-year-old child was left alone in a Warren County apartment with several bags of marijuana found inside a crib, police said.
Mansfield Township police officers at 11:44 p.m. Jan. 18 were dispatched to an apartment. Police did not specify in a news release the exact location.
A female victim fled the apartment out a window and was found by officers outside the complex. She reported to investigators that her 29-year-old boyfriend, who police did not identify, slapped her, threw a drink at her and grabbed her by the neck, slamming her into a bathroom mirror.
The boyfriend sped off in a car from the complex, leaving a 3-year-old child alone in the apartment, according to police. Officers seized several bags of marijuana in the crib, as well as other places throughout the apartment, according to police.
A warrant was issued for the man on charges of simple assault, harassment, possession of under 50 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as a citation for reckless driving.
The New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency was notified. The male was located in Morris County and arrested Wednesday on charges out of Mansfield Township, as well as other areas, police said.
