Florida Man Arrested After Leaving Baby in Vehicle While Gambling at Casino for 2 Hours
Summary
Gregory Foster, 28, was arrested in Broward County, Florida, on charges of child neglect after allegedly leaving a baby in a car for two hours while he gambled at the Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood. On Wednesday, November 11, around 11 a.m., a Seminole Police officer responded to a call and was directed by casino security to a black BMW in the parking lot, where a baby was found in a car seat, not safely buckled in and appearing to be sleeping. Security said the car had been there for over an hour, and Foster was later found inside the casino playing at a table. He claimed he left the infant for only 45 minutes, but security staff said he had been gambling for about two hours. Foster was arrested at the scene, taken into custody, and held on $2,500 bond. The relationship between Foster and the child, the child's age, custody status, and health condition remain unknown, and it is unclear whether Foster has entered a plea or retained legal counsel.
