An intoxicated Alabama couple was arrested after they took their infant daughter to an Indiana bar, and patrons reported seeing the mother drinking and smoking while breastfeeding the baby girl.

Michael Trosclair, 45, and Shari Tremba, 42, were taken into custody June 16 at the Wild Beaver Saloon in Indianapolis, court records show. The couple is from Mobile, and Trosclair's LinkedIn profile lists him as a former senior pastor at a Theodore church and a current regional vice president of Primerica in Mobile, where he has worked since 2009. Tremba's social media indicates she, too, worked for the financial services company at one point.

Trosclair and Tremba are charged with neglect of a dependent in a situation that endangers the dependent, and also with public intoxication. They have since been released from Marion County Jail 1 in Indianapolis. They were in town for a work conference.

A three-page probable cause affidavit, obtained by AL.com, chronicles the events that led to their arrests.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were dispatched to the saloon at 12:38 a.m. Friday on a report of a woman soliciting customers for beer and breast feeding an infant while drinking. Sgt. Ty Van Wagner said he arrived to find Tremba standing outside of a roped-off area at the bar, holding a cup and standing near a stroller. "The baby was quiet and sleeping,'' Van Wagner wrote in his report.

The officer said he asked Tremba who the baby belonged to, and she said the baby was hers. Her answer was followed by a swig of beer. Police went on to say that Tremba's "breath and person" smelled of an alcoholic beverage, and that she had to be asked several times who she was and where she was from.

A witness pulled an officer aside and said that Tremba had been at the bar for quite a while and was offering sex to different individuals who would go inside and get her a beer. The man told police he had watched Tremba drink her beers and breastfeed the baby at the same time. She had been at the bar drinking since at least 10:30 p.m., and was eventually kicked out and told to stay outside of the roped area. Tremba told police she was with her husband and friends from his work. Her Breath Alcohol Content at the time of her arrest was .193.

Officers told Tremba they were going to have the baby checked out by medics, and also called Child Protective Services and a child abuse investigator to the scene.

While talking with Tremba, police noted, Trosclair approached them. "His gait was what I would consider an intoxicated walk that I have seen many times during my 25 years as a police officer,'' Van Wagner wrote.

Trosclair, police said, became angry and said he would take everyone home by Uber. Police told him they were going to have to have the baby examined. "Mr. Trosclair became belligerent and started demanding to talk to a lawyer and telling us we weren't going to do anything,'' wrote Det. Nicolle Flynn. "It was at this time, due to Mr. Trosclair's behavior, I put him in cuffs for fear he may fight us with the baby right there."

Trosclair, police wrote, still didn't understand why there was a problem. "This goes to show Mr. Trosclair was too intoxicated to understand the situation his own child was in when the mother, Ms. Tremba, starts to breastfeed the child,'' Flynn wrote. "It also shows a lack of care for the child and its welfare while in his and Ms. Tremba's care. Partying was more important than their child.

More witnesses came forward, and one of them told police that Tremba at one point had chained the stroller, which still held the baby, to a chain outside the saloon and went inside to buy a drink, leaving the infant unattended. Another witness told police he saw Tremba drinking, smoking and breastfeeding all at once. He said her voice was slurred and she was leaning against the building. At one point, he said, some men - possibly bar employees - brought out a tray of beers for her and were drinking with her.

According to the affidavit, the medics said the baby was a bit lethargic and should be checked out at Riley Children's Hospital. The baby girl was examined at the hospital and no signs of intoxication or other physical signs of abuse or neglect were noted. The girl was taken into the custody of DCS.

Efforts to reach the couple for comment have been unsuccessful. They were set to appear in an Indiana courtroom Tuesday morning for an initial hearing.
