An Ambridge father is facing charges after police say they found him passed out in a car with drugs inside and his young son in the backseat on a 90-plus degree day. Police and paramedics were called to the intersection of Kennedy Drive and 10th Street in Ambridge around noon on Monday. First responders found 34-year-old Kristofer Lee Wigton, of Leet Township, unconscious in his car there with a male passenger, and Wigton’s 10-month-old son was in a car seat in the back sweating profusely. Police say Wigton was behind the wheel and the vehicle was stopped but still in gear, and it had no air conditioning. A search of the vehicle turned up heroin, hypodermic needles, marijuana, and suboxone and a prescription medicine used to treat symptoms of drug addiction and withdrawal. Wigton is now in the Beaver County Jail, facing charges that include child endangerment.
