Kokomo -- A mother who left her infant son in an unheated car while she and a friend went into a local strip club was arrested and jailed Sunday, police said.
Kokomo Police Lt. David L. Galloway said 22-year-old Tiffany Eagle, rural Kokomo, was taken to the Howard County Jail on preliminary charges of felony neglect and public intoxication.
Also arrested, he said, was Ashley Tomaszewski, 21, Kokomo. Tomaszewski had arrived at the bar with Eagle and was jailed on the same preliminary charges.
According to Galloway, police responded to a report of an unattended child inside a parked car at Big Daddy's Showclub just before 3 a.m.
Investigating officers said the car was not running when they arrived. Both women were found inside the bar.
The child, who was not injured, was released to a family member.
Howard County Child Protection Services was notified to initiate its own investigation.
