DANVILLE, Ind. (AP) - A central Indiana woman who called police saying she awoke to find her 2-year-old daughter and car missing is facing preliminary charges of neglect of a dependent after police say she apparently left the child in the car on the side of the road.
The Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office says a passer-by found the child about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, four hours after 27-year-old Logan Wardle of Danville reported her missing.
Police say a witness said Wardle stopped at his residence about 11 p.m. Saturday, saying she was lost and asked for a ride home and never mentioned the child or vehicle.
A message seeking comment from Wardle’s attorney, Michael Joe Manning, was left at his office Sunday by The Associated Press. Wardle was detained on an outstanding theft warrant.
