Allison Daugherty, 41, was arrested after witnesses saw her toddler son crawling around her parked SUV at the Bokeelia Fishing Pier in Florida as she swam in shark infested waters
A Southwest Florida woman who took a dip off a pier Monday morning while leaving her kid in the car ended up behind bars, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said.
Video shows a Florida mother swimming in shark-infested waters near a fishing pier Monday. She has been charged with child neglect as authorities say she left her toddler in a running car to do so.
Allison Sarah Daugherty, 41, had parked near the pier and cranked up the radio before jumping into the water, leaving the child alone in the vehicle with the air conditioning still running.
