SOUTH DAYTONA, Fla. - A Florida woman is facing charges after police said she left her child in a hot car and then told police “it was hot” when she was put into the back of a police cruiser, according to a report.

Police were called to a Dollar General store in South Daytona last week for a report of a child left in a vehicle.

They said they found a 5-year-old sitting in a locked Hyundai alone, with the front driver’s side window down and both passenger side windows rolled up.

The rear driver’s side window was slightly open, a report said.

The car was parked in direct sunlight without any shade, police said.

The witness who called 911 said the child was left for about 20 minutes and that the child was crying and screaming.

The manager of the store told police Walker has been walking around the store for nearly 30 minutes. »
