The 49-year-old allegedly earlier told an arresting officer: ‘That was only like the second time I had done this. Oh, well. I could use a vacation’ after being told he was going to jail.

Authorities came to the parking lot in Pompano Beach, Florida, after an anonymous call came in and reported the children left alone in the vehicle. One child was crying while another was asleep and had a seatbelt wrapped around her neck. Apparently the doors were open to the car and it was only 87 degrees outside, so I’m not too sure why this was even an issue. The fact that they weren’t strapped into child seats was also an issue. Okay, leaving a five-year-old to watch over two smaller children is an issue, the car was NOT “boiling”, as the report says.

When a deputy was dispatched to come and pick up the kids, the arresting officer wrote: ‘The driver became irate and walked over…and began to yell at the children, “See? I’m going to jail because you wanted something to drink. I’m never going to get out. I hope you’re happy”.’

The arresting officer reported: ‘The suspect’s eyes were bloodshot and his pupils were fixed. His face was flushed and he was unstable on his feet. The suspect [told me he] was on sleeping pills and psych meds.’
