Middletown, Conn. (WTNH) - Police in Middletown have charged the parents of a toddler after they found a video of the baby smoking marijuana.

According to the Middletown Press, police stumbled across the video while executing a search warrant at the couple's home on Prospect Street. The three year old can be seen inhaling and coughing after taking a hit from a glass pipe.

Kristian Augeri, 23, and Thomas Way, 22, face a slew of charges including risk of injury, possession of a stolen firearm, failure to properly store a firearm and use of drug paraphernalia.

News Channel 8's Bob Wilson went to the home and ran into two relatives who say the accusations are false.

"He wasn't smoking anything. The police are misinformed," the baby's aunt said.

"I feel real bad that this situation happened," the baby's grandfather said. "I had no idea it was happening."

Way and Augeri are each being held on a $150,000 bond. They're due in court April 15.
