Del. Mom Accused of Leaving 3 Kids In Car While Shopping At Walmart
DOVER, Del. (CBS)—A Magnolia woman has been arrested after police say she left her three kids inside a car while she went shopping at Walmart.
Troopers were called to the scene on Wednesday when a 911 caller stated a young child was wandering around in the parking lot.
Upon their arrival, the 3-year-old boy was already in the care of the mother after he was located by the store's Asset Protection Unit.
Troopers say they also found two other children--a 1-year-old girl and an 8-month-old girl--left unattended in the car while the mother was in the store shopping.
Brandi A. Jones, 34 of Magnolia is being charged with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, criminal trespass and breach of conditions of a bond.
When troopers initially contacted Jones they say she gave a false name due to her six court orders out of Kent County Courts as well as a no contact order with Walmart that was put in place on June 28, 2016 due to a shoplifting incident.
The three children were unharmed and were turned over to a relative.
