A Florida mom is facing multiple charges after reportedly fighting with the police during her arrest when they learned that she allegedly left four youngsters unattended in her vehicle while she hung out at a bar.
On the evening of December 16, a woman and her 8-year-old child entered the Apple Lounge & Grill. An employee spotted the boy and informed his mom that children were not allowed in the bar. After purportedly leaving the youngster with his father, the woman returned for food and drinks. The bartender reported that they went outside and looked around the parking lot and saw four kids alone in a vehicle. The employee notified the authorities.
Deputies from the Polk County Sheriff’s Department went to the location to investigate, and they reported that the children, who were ages 10 months, 3, 5, and 8 years old, were still in the car. When their mother came outside, the deputies believed she showed several signs of being intoxicated. They interacted with the woman, and she allegedly became violent and kicked one of them.
