PRIOR LAKE, Minn. (AP) — A father was jailed after he allegedly left his 4-year-old son out in his vehicle in subzero cold while the man went inside the Mystic Lake Casino to gamble, police said.
A casino visitor found the boy wandering in the parking lot, Prior Lake police Sgt. Greg Zollner said. The temperature was 7 degrees below zero with a minus-22 wind chill at the time early Thursday.
Zollner said authorities believe the boy was in the vehicle in the parking lot for about an hour, and that another half-hour elapsed before his father returned.
His father, a Brooklyn Park man, was in jail pending charges expected Friday. |
