Hulse got busted after Greensburg police stopped a vehicle Thursday and found heroin and paraphernalia, authorities say.

Police say they went to the maternity room and confronted Hulse, who acknowledged selling the drugs and who had heroin in his pocket.

Police say Hulse’s girlfriend, the baby’s mother, told them she didn’t know about the drug deals.

His bond was set at $100,000. During his arraignment, Hulse said: ‘I have an issue myself with drugs.’

Hulse is employed at a lumber company.
