Woman Left 18-Month-Old In Locked Car And Went Into Bar: Sheriff

HUDSON, FL — A Spring Hill woman was charged with child neglect after Pasco County Sheriff's deputies said she left a child in her car while she went into a bar.

According to the sheriff's office, around 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Marena Shadae Outlaw, 28, went into Lollipops Club at 18329 U.S. 19 in Hudson and left an 18-month-old child in the car with the doors locked.

Deputies said they could smell alcohol on her breath when they spoke to her. She agreed to perform a field sobriety test but the sheriff's office was unable to get an accurate reading on her blood-alcohol content.

She was taken to the Land O' Lakes Detention Center where bond was set at $5,000.
