A New York man who was driving under the influence of alcohol Saturday evening had an eight-month-old in the back seat, according to a criminal complaint.

Darl Robert Ellis faces a felony charge of endangering the welfare of a child.

According to the complaint, at about 10:15 p.m., Ellis, 36, of Binghamton, was driving on Cyprus Street, Throop, when state police spotted him making a turn onto to Sanderson Street from the wrong lane.

When troopers stopped Ellis and approached him in the driver’s seat, they noticed the front seat passenger, later identified as Brittany Baumlin, reaching back and tending to a child in a car seat in the back seat.

Troopers asked Ellis to get out of the vehicle and he complied. Ellis said there was nothing illegal in the car.  The child, he said, was eight-months-old.

A records checked indicated his license was suspended.

When Ellis handed his license to troopers, his hands were shaking. They noted he had bloodshot eyes and his pupils did not appropriately respond to light, according to the complaint.

Troopers searched the vehicle with Ellis’s permission and found three glass smoking pipes inside a burp cloth inside the baby’s diaper bag.

The baby’s car seat was improperly installed, troopers said.

Ellis is also charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

A female officer searched Baumlin and found her to be in possession of cocaine, which was hidden in her bra, in addition to to a white powdery substance in a folded paper in her back pocket.

Baumlin, 34, also of Binghamton, faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both remain in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Ellis and Baumlin have preliminary hearing scheduled for later this month before District Judge Paul Keeler.

The stop was part of Operation Nighthawk, a Pennsylvania State Police initiative geared at combatting impaired driving through high-visibility patrols and DUI enforcement, according to the complaint.
