Witnesses say they saw Brookbank snort a white powder from a red bag before he staggered around, ran into a utility pole and some bushes before, finally, pushing the stroller over a 7-foot embankment and landing on top of it. Police say his son wasn't hurt.

Police found Brookbank unresponsive when they arrived and administered two doses of Narcan to revive him.
