Child left unattended in car; man charged

BOARDMAN

Township police arrested WKBN morning anchor Dan Martin, who they said left his child unattended in an unlocked car at the CVS on Market Street.

A witness was walking into CVS on Monday when she heard a baby crying. She said the car was running and the doors were unlocked. She told someone to call the police while she tried to calm the baby.

She told police she sat in the rear of the vehicle with the baby for about 10 minutes until a man left the store and told her he was the father.

Martin, 36, told police he didn’t want to wake the baby and left the car on to keep the child warm. He added he was aware the doors were not locked. He faces a child-endangering charge. He was released on summons pending his court date scheduled for Thursday in Mahoning County Area Court.
