Grandmother Leaves Child in Car to Watch a Movie

TYLER – A child locked in a car has led to a grandmother being arrested in Tyler. It began with a call about a welfare concern at the Carmike Theater at 7415 South Broadway. When officers arrived around 8:15 last night they found firemen had unlocked a car and removed a child. Carmike Theater personnel were contacted and assisted in locating the owner of the vehicle, identified as Felicia Lucille Green, 49, of Tyler, who was in the theater. The child, who was five months old, had been in the car around an hour. The child, who was unharmed, was released to a family member. Green was booked into the Smith County Jail on a charge of child endangerment, a state felony.
