Dennis Ray Driver Killed His Baby With ‘Cocaine Fingers’

A man in Texas has been given life in prison after a court found that he accidentally killed his infant son when the teething baby suckled his cocaine-laced fingertips. Shit! You can die from that?

Dennis Ray Driver, 26, was convicted Wednesday of felony murder for the overdose death of his 8-month-old son, Dennis Jr. The jury also fined Driver $10,000.

Driver said he fell asleep at his apartment on December 28 with his son lying on his chest. When he awoke, the baby wasn’t breathing. The infant died the next day at a hospital.

Driver had told investigators that he had chopped up cocaine and the baby later sucked on his fingers, prosecutor Murray Newman said.

Let that be a lesson to you: Hooker? Cocaine fingers. Baby? Spirit fingers.
