Drunk Doper Puts Baby in Oven

(McCracken County, Kentucky) A 33-year-old man, Larry Long, has been arrested for wanton endangerment for allegedly putting his 5-week-old son into the oven overnight after getting higher than a kite on marijuana and whiskey.

The baby's mother, Brandy Hatton, reportedly went to bed while Mr. Long stayed up and continued smoking and drinking.
Hatton woke up early the next morning when she heard her baby's cries coming from the oven.

Emergency crews took the baby who had been left in the oven for several hours to a nearby hospital, where medical staff declared the infant unharmed.

Long reported himself to a psychiatric facility, which in turn contacted authorities, according to reports.
[As an aside, what happened to doctor-patient confidentiality?]
Long reportedly said he believed his marijuana was laced with hallucinogens, causing his strange behavior.
Long was booked into custody with bond set at $10,000.
