A Bunnell man has been arrested charges after his daughter ate a marijuana blunt while at his home.
Cody Robert Spiegelhalter, 26, of Bunnell was arrested on June 23 and has been charged with child neglect. Spiegelhalter drove his infant daughter, of unknown age, to the AdventHealth Palm Coast hospital after she had eaten half a marijuana blunt while staying with him at his house on Saturday, June 22, according to Spiegelhalter’s arrest report.
Spiegelhalter told a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy that it was his visitation weekend with his daughter. He said he was rolling a blunt of marijuana at around 7:30 p.m. and went to the bathroom, leaving the blunt unattended near the infant, the report said.
When he came back, he said half of the blunt was gone and marijuana residue was on the floor next to his daughter, the report said. Soon after, Spiegelhalter said, she began acting “abnormally” and “not like herself.” That’s when he called the girl’s mother and drove his daughter to the hospital.
The girl was then transported to Wolfson’s Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville after he started having seizures and other medical complications, the report said. The girl’s uncle, a Flagler Beach resident, called police on June 23 when he heard why his niece was in the hospital.
The deputy looked through Spiegelhalter’s home and found feces and urine from Spiegelhalter’s animals on the floor throughout the home and around 20 grams of marijuana in plain view and in easy reach of a child.
Spiegelhalter remains at the Flagler County jail and could be facing additional drug possession charges, the arrest report said.
