A New York dad was busted outside a swanky Florida hotel “hot-boxing” his car with a woman while his 2-year-old son sat helpless in the back seat, police say.

Phillip Fraisar, 36, of Hamlin, New York, and Kasey Buckmann, 27, of Rochester, New York, were allegedly caught outside the Clevelander Hotel in Miami Beach’s Art Deco District on Sunday night, according to arrest reports obtained by local ABC affiliate WPLG.

The pair was parked outside the valet area at 1020 Ocean Drive. Police say they were smoking cannabis and drinking tequila inside their vehicle. The child who was with them is Fraisar’s son, according to police.

“The marijuana smoke filled the vehicle, as is commonly referred to as hot-boxing,” police said in the pair’s arrest reports. A “large clear bag of marijuana” was allegedly found under the driver’s seat — along with a pistol in the glove box, the reports say.

Fraisar, who is a felon, was allegedly within “arm’s reach” of the gun, police said. Court records show that his previous conviction was for criminal possession of a weapon.

As officers arrived, Fraisar was spotted exiting the vehicle and abandoning Buckmann with his son. He eventually returned and was taken into custody.

Both Fraisar and Buckmann are facing child abuse charges. Buckmann is also charged with marijuana possession, while Fraisar faces an additional charge of felon in possession of a firearm.

The pair asked to be represented by public defenders after each entered pleas of not guilty on Tuesday, according to court records. They have both requested a trial by jury and are being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on $8,000 bond. No court dates have been scheduled yet.
