    NASHVILLE, Tennessee (WSMV) — A baby left alone inside a short-term rental was found by a crew that showed up at the Mint House on Rosa l. Parks Boulevard to clean the unit.

The one-year-old, 15 pounds of marijuana, a loaded Glock pistol, and more than $17,000 in cash were found inside when officers arrived, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.

As officers were investigating, the child’s parents arrived on the scene.

The child was taken to Vanderbilt Hospital as a precaution. The Department of Children’s Services is now involved with making custody arrangements.
