A Florida man is accused of child neglect after allegedly leaving two young children in a car while he was inside a strip club.
Jordan told cops that he was inside for only a few minutes.
However, the general manager of Scarlett’s, Christopher Mays, said that he was in the club for at least a half hour.
When a security guard and a good Samaritan found the kids, the infant was upside-down in the car seat and the toddler was not strapped in. They were able to get the toddler to open the vehicle from the inside so they could rescue the crying infant.
Someone called the police, which came to investigate and ended up arresting Jackson.
“It’s devastating. it’s devastating that people can do that to children. It really opens your eyes to what goes on in this world, how nasty things can be,” Mays said.
Lance Dunford, a criminal defense attorney in Fort Meyers, told Wink News said that Florida is one of only 19 states that he could find that has a law about leaving children unattended in a vehicle.
Jackson faces two counts of child neglect. It’s unclear if Jordan has an attorney.
The Florida Department of Children and Families is conducting a follow-up investigation into Jordan and the children.
