Police said two people left a child in a car while they were drinking inside a bar in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, WPXI-TV reports.
Troopers were called to the 19th Hole Bar on McClellandtown Road in South Union Township late Friday, where they discovered a 1-year-old girl inside a car parked in front of the bar.
She was asleep in a car seat. Police said the child was sweating and very warmh, but otherwise unharmed.
“She was hot and she was sort of clammy. It appeared she’d been in there long enough. She needed attention,” said Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Stefanie Lucas.
Troopers charged Tammy Lynn Price, 45, with endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangering and drug possession.
Albert Eugene Core Sr., 72, was charged with reckless endangering and disorderly conduct.
“When officers arrived, initially there was a bit of a confrontation with the male who refused to give up the keys to the vehicle,” Lucas said.
Price was arrested that night, and charges against Core are still pending.
“Had (the concerned stranger) not contacted us and they’d stayed in there several hours longer, she may have suffered a medical emergency,” Lucas said. “Luckily, someone was concerned enough to contact us.”
