A Waterford is man facing charges after police say he was passed out with his infant son in his car.

Colonie Police tell News10ABC they responded to a call on Saturday from a passerby who noticed Alvaro Uruchima passed out inside his parked car outside a hair salon on Louden Road. Also inside the car say police, Uruchima's 7 month old baby boy. Colonie Police say they arrested the 24 year old from Waterford after they allegedly found several bags of heroin in his pocket. Uruc...hima was charged with Acting In A Manner Injurious To A Child and Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance. The baby was handed over to a family member. The arrest sounds eerily similar to recent stories from across the country in which parents have been found passed out or dead with their children nearby. One particularly tragic story was of an unconscious mother and her crying child who were captured by shoppers cellphones as the mom lay in a store aisle. On Monday, police in Pennsylvania discovered the bodies of 2 parents whom they believe died of a drug overdose after their 7-year-old daughter told school officials she couldn't wake them up.

Police: 13 and 15 year old steal SUV & pickup, wipe out porch and metal fence

Menands Police tell News10ABC that they have arrested two Albany juveniles after the pair went on an early morning joyride that ended with serious property damage.

Chief Michael O'Brien tells me that the boys ages 13 and 15 stand accused of stealing at least 2 vehicles. The first alleged theft was of an SUV near the Tovoli Park Apartments in...
Albany around 3am. Chief O'Brien alleges the pair then drove the stolen vehicle to Menands where they then stole a Ford pickup. Around 3:30am a Menands Police officer pulled over the 15 year old driver of the stolen
SUV, but O'Brien says the 13 year old driver of the pickup continued on into
the city of Watervliet. O'Brien says the pickup was not being pursued and was not known to have been stolen at the time the SUV was pulled over. However, he says the inexperienced and small in stature operator of the truck (who likely had a tough time seeing over the steering wheel) proceeded to tear through Watervliet city streets and sidewalks, obliterating a front porch, tearing apart a chain link fence and damaging a handful of cars before coming to a stop.
O'Brien says the teens were arrested, facing charges in Family Court. They were turned over to their parents and guardians. He says it's pure luck nobody was injured or worse.
