  Naked Man Who Abandoned Baby on Busy Roadway Has Criminal Past web posted February 11, 2013 MERRIWETHER – Carl Thompson Grove, 31, who abandoned his naked baby daughter on the side of busy Martintown Road last Wednesday evening, while himself walking around naked, may be facing additional time in jail. According to online court records, Grove was arrested in July of 2009 on Briggs Road for multiple felony drug charges and pled guilty to manufacturing and distribution of a cocaine based drug and sentenced to 15 years in prison, suspended on service of 5 years of probation in 2011. Needless to say, the incident last week is well within the 5 year probationary period and, if the law is followed, Groves should be facing the remainder of the original 15 year sentence in addition to the charges he currently faces. As Edgefield Daily originally reported at that time, Edgefield County Sheriff's Undercover Narcotics Investigators made a stop and arrest on Grove on Briggs Road on July 16, 2009. "At the time of arrest Grove is said to have told investigators the things they were looking for would be found in the 'back seat'. A drug dog was called to the scene and alerted to the back seat area where a dark colored bag was found containing hypodermic needles, a crystal substance believed to be methamphetamine, suspected marijuana, assorted pills, and two bottles of what is believed to be anabolic steroids," Edgefield Daily reported. He was sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Edward B. Cottingham on July 11, 2011: Case number: 2009GS1900388. Grove has not been taken into custody for the incident last week and is believed to still hospitalized, though that has not been confirmed. Warrants were said to be in the process of being obtained on Thursday with additional charges possible. It is unknown when Grove will return to Edgefield County to face the current charges.
