Christopher BradleyPORTLAND, Tenn. - A father in Portland was arrested after police said he let his child play with marijuana. Officers found photos of the incident on his phone.
Officers responded to the home of 30-year-old Christopher Bradley in Portland for a domestic dispute after his estranged wife called them. Police said she is the one who found the pictures on Bradley's cell phone.
During the investigation, several photos where found on Bradley's phone of his 2-year-old son standing at a table packaging marijuana.
Photos showed the child placing marijuana into a jar. The pictures also showed rolling paper and a lighter on the table.
Bradley's neighbors at the Tree-Top apartments in Portland are in shock.
"I still don't really believe it, but the pictures -- they don't lie," said neighbor Terry Brindley.
Brindley was awakened Tuesday night, when Portland officers swarmed Bradley's second-story apartment.
Brindley said he thought Bradley was a good dad to his 2-year-old son, and even younger daughter.
"My right hand to the Lord, he was always feeding them, always bathing them -- and everything like that," added Brindley.
Bradley was charged with child abuse, neglect and domestic assault.
Bradley has quite a lengthy arrest record. He's scheduled for a court appearance next month.
