Grand Rd., CCSO release – On February 15th 2019 at about 1100 a.m. A concerned Yellow Cab driver contacted the Coos County Sheriff’s Office about two children apparently home alone. The Driver was at the location to make a delivery as requested, however the door was answered by a 3 year old child and an 18 month old child. Deputies responded to the location and called out to anyone inside. No one came to the door after repeated requests. Both children tried to exit the residence through the open door on several occasions during this time. Deputies were extremely concerned for not only a potential occupant of the residence but also for the unattended children. A search of the residence yielded a man identified as 22 year old William G. Nascimento of Coos Bay, who was passed out on the floor in a back bed room. Mr. Nascimento was extremely intoxicated and incoherent. Mr. Nascimento was arrested on the charges of Criminal Mistreatment I and Child Neglect II. Mr. Nascimento was also charged with Resisting Arrest for his actions after being advised he was under arrest. Mr. Nascimento was transported to the Coos County Jail where he was booked. DHS workers were called to the scene to assist with the children.
