Baby-toting cocaine dealer is still sought by deputies
The Broward Sheriff's Office is pursuing at least one lead in identifying a man caught on video selling crack cocaine while holding a baby.
''We've got a tip, and we're following up on it,'' BSO spokesman Hugh Graf said Wednesday, adding that investigators still are asking anyone with information to call them.
BSO released the video -- taped during an undercover sting in Dania Beach on Aug. 2 -- on Tuesday in the hopes that someone will identify the man.
With an infant in his arms, the man sold an undercover deputy two rocks of crack cocaine.
The deal went down about 11 p.m. in the parking lot of a motel at 825 E. Dania Beach Blvd.
The deputies didn't arrest the man at the time because they didn't have enough backup and didn't want to endanger the child, Graf said.
The man could have dropped the baby or used the child as a shield, he said.
Deputies have not been able to find the man and want to make sure the child is safe.
''None of us can speak to the circumstances that occurred, but as an observer, all of us, our gut reaction, of course, is protect this child,'' said Roni Leiderman, associate dean of Nova Southeastern University's Mailman Segal Institute for Early Childhood studies.
''Certainly, this baby is at risk both physically and mentally of being in an environment that is not safe,'' Leiderman said.
Anyone who recognizes the man is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
A reward of up to $1,000 may be available for information leading to his arrest.
