KENNER, La. (AP) — A 22-year-old Kenner man has been booked with child desertion after police say he left his 2-year-old daughter in his unlocked car while he got a haircut.

Lt. Wayne McInnis, spokesman for the Kenner Police Department, said Wednesday that Jeremy N. Allen was arrested after a police officer working a private detail nearby found Allen's daughter in a car seat in an unlocked vehicle with the engine running.

McInnis told The Times-Picayune that Allen left the sleeping girl in the car for more than 15 minutes while he went into a barber shop.

Allen remains in the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center, where his bond has not been set.

It wasn't immediately clear if Allen has an attorney.

Why do people do this kind of thing? I don't want the man to be punished to harshly this time, but he must be made to understand that you cannot leave a child alone in a car.

"It wasn't immediately clear if McInnis has an attorney." This ought to read "Allen" and not McInnis.

If he's stupid enough to leave a 2 year old in a car by itself, he needs to go to jail...period!!

Not only did he leave her in the car, he left her in a UNLOCKED car WITH THE MOTOR ON. I "m sure he was thinking not to let her fry, But forgot part of his brain at home, when he left her in an unlocked car with the engine running. NEXT TIME SIR: USE ALL OF YOUR BRAIN CELLS.
