Police: Man Leaves Toddler in Car at Mall

Twinsburg man arrested, charged with child engangering

A Twinsburg man was arrested at the last week after police say he left his two-year-old in the car.

Police were unaware of how long the child had been left alone, but she was not injured.

Curtis Thomas, 22, was charged with child endangering, a first-degree misdemeanor that carries a sentence of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

The child was sleeping in her car seat at around 4:30 p.m. April 18 when mall security spotted her, according to police. Thomas returned to the car about ten minutes after police arrived.

Thomas was released on a $5,000 bond and is set for arraignment in Shaker Heights Municipal Court May 15.

This should be a great evening. Steve Berry, is one of the greatest authors of my decade along withRead More James Patterson. They both have done their homework in research and story-telling. I would love to listen to him, however, I will not be in the area that week. It would be wonderful if he were invited to the Heights area, either Legacy, Beachwood, Cleveland Hts., because he would bring down the house with fans. Thank you, again. Love his tales.
