reports reaching the officers stated that the mom later identified as Harmon was seen violently thrusting her infant into a carrier when they thought they' see the worst of her actions they were left amazed when she vigorously shook the baby carrier causing the baby's head to hit the sides of the carrier with force and when the neighbors tried to swiftly respond to this inhumane act she reacted in Rage asking them to leave while she drove off with the baby fearing she might do something more drastic to the baby because she showed a parent size of intoxication they quick reached out to the police giving details of her car and possible Direction she might be headed in a swift response the officers after some time of intense search were able to locate the woman with the baby and initiated
