SEYMOUR, Ind. — An infant is healthy Tuesday afternoon after police in Indiana say someone walking their dog found the infant in a plastic bag.
Seymour Police Department officers say someone found the infant around 3:45 p.m. along a fence, about 20 yards from the road, according to a press release from SPD. The infant was found in the 600 block of South Jackson Park Drive.
