Trooper D.C. Graham was on the scene and brought the child back to the station to wait for Child Protective Services (CPS).

“We brought him in to the barracks and the smell of vomit and feces overtook the room,” said Graham in an interview with CNN.

“The baby was crying profusely. We tried everything. He was just so upset in the condition he was in.”

“There was nothing we could do to get him to stop crying. I said, ‘I can’t let him sit in this.’”

Graham, who is a father, filled up a kitchen sink with soap and warm water and bathed the baby.

“As soon as I got him in there and started washing him off, a smile came on his face,” he said.

They had a few hours before CPS arrived, so Graham held and played with the child, calling him “the best little baby.”

“If you look in those pictures, they seem to have connected, which is what I think is tugging at everybody’s hearts,” said Lt. Michael Baylous of the West Virginia State Police.

“That child is so content and happy being there with him and not only is the child content and happy, but so is Trooper Graham.”

According to Graham, the driver of the vehicle – the child’s mother – was too intoxicated to answer when she was asked for the child’s name.

She is facing DUI charges with a minor.
