10h agoA Patchogue man was arrested and charged for leaving his 2-year-old son in a vehicle during the extreme heat Tuesday afternoon, police say.
Officers responded to the parking lot of the Walmart at Centereach Mall around 1:40 p.m. after someone called 911 to report a child sleeping in a parked 2007 Toyota Highlander that was not running, with the windows open a few inches.
Police say the child was unattended in the vehicle for about 20 minutes while the outside temperature was approximately 100 degrees.
As first responders were administering aid to the child, 36-year-old Keniarold Andre returned to the vehicle and was arrested.
Andre was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Police say the boy was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment. He will be released to a family member.
