NEW YORK — A Long Island dad is now facing drug and child endangerment charges in Suffolk county after cops say he toted along his eight month-old daughter as he sold heroin in Central Islip — all because he could not find a babysitter.

Tyreek Langs, 23, was in possession of five bags of heroin, worth about $500, when he and his daughter were brought into custody by undercover police officers. Officers were surprised to see a baby in the middle of an alleged drug deal.

“Bizarre situation that someone would go to those lengths with complete disregard for a child,” said Det. Lt. James Rooney. ”Anything can happen in a drug deal,” Rooney added. The mother of the child was said to be at work while the drug deal took place.
