This little boy left his house through an unlocked front door. He went to the neighbors unlocked shed. There he played with tools, hunting equipment, and unloaded guns. Then, he crawled through a doggy door and headed towards the pool. He sat in the shallow end. Thats where Ofc. Becker found him.

Denise Holmes was placed under arrest for child neglect. She was transported to the St Lucie County jail.
