The children were later found unsupervised but unharmed in the pool area.

An open beer can was found near Stephens, along with empty cans and bottles nearby.

When instructed to get into the police vehicle, Stephens attempted to flee but was apprehended by deputies after a short chase.

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood expressed dismay at the couple’s behavior, emphasizing the seriousness of their neglectful actions and the potential harm to their children.
He criticized their lack of responsibility and underscored the importance of proper guardianship.
