Seattle police arrested a Wallingford man on Saturday after neighbors found his two-year-old daughter wandering barefoot in the street, carrying a live rabbit, and drugs in her purse.

SPD spokesman Mark Jamieson says police received a report of "an unattended small child not really dressed for the elements" walking in the street near 50th and Wallingford at about noon on Saturday.

Officers arrived and found the girl—who'd been stopped by a few bystanders—walking barefoot in the street wearing only pajama top, carrying her pet rabbit, and a purse containing a marijuana pipe and an empty bottle of Endocet, a prescription narcotic.

As police were talking to the girl, a man approached officers and said he was the girl's father.

The man told police he had left a door unlocked when he let the family dogs out and that his daughter had left the home while he and his wife were asleep. It appears the girl was found not far from her home.

Officers asked the man about the marijuana pipe, and he admitted it was his. Police arrested the man for marijuana possession and released him from the North Precinct. The girl was released to her mother and Child Protective Services was notified of the incident.

Although City Attorney Pete Holmes has said he will not file charges for marijuana possession, city prosecutors could charge the man with another crime, like child endangerment.

We've placed a call to Holmes' office to find out whether they could potentially file drug paraphernalia possession charges in this case, or whether the city will cease filing those cases as well.
