Andrew Sosa left his 4-month-old daughter in the car, covered in vomit and dehydrated, while he went to a Florida strip club, police say.
Sosa, 21, was arrested and charged with child neglect late Friday when a witness in Fort Myers saw the baby inside a locked car at Lookers strip club, according to the News-Press. The witness flagged down an officer, who was forced to smash a window to get the baby out when he couldn’t find a caretaker nearby.
The baby was reportedly sweating and sick. She was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for dehydration, NBC-2 in Fort Myers reports.
Meanwhile, Sosa was allegedly at Lookers. Police say he left the victim in the car for more than three hours, but the baby’s uncle refutes the claim. Corey Peterson says the baby was only in the car for half an hour and has “bounced back great. She’s my youngest niece, so she is precious to me.”
Peterson also called Sosa a “great father” who “watches his daughter day in and day out.”
Sosa appeared in court Saturday, and his bond was set at $100,000, according to the New York Daily News.
