Man Arrested for Leaving Infant in Running Car Outside Casino

A man was arrested for leaving an infant unattended in a running car outside the Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood. The infant was found asleep in a running car in the parking lot, with casino guards breaking into the car.

The man's relationship to the child was not established in reporting, with the man arguing that he was caring for the baby in the absence of the baby’s mother.

The man, identified as Gregory Foster, left the child in the car in the parking lot and proceeded inside the casino to gamble. The guards were also able to see the infant in the back seat of the car. Upon the discovery of the car and the child, Foster was reportedly inside for 45 minutes, playing table games. The guards also reported that the infant was left without its seatbelt. Foster faces charges of child neglect without bodily harm. Foster told officers that he was caring for the child in the absence of his mother, who was attending a school in Davie at the time of the accident.
