Mom ticketed for alcohol, leaving kids alone
BOARDMAN — A Youngstown woman was cited by township police Saturday after she reportedly left her two young children alone in a car and then drove with an open container of alcohol.
Amanda Devault, 28, was cited for driving under suspension, open container in a motor vehicle and littering after multiple people reported that she left her kids in the car while she went into a store for 20 minutes.
Police then reportedly observed Devault throw a beer can out of the window when she returned to the vehicle.
The children are 2-years-old and one-month-old, according to a police report.
