A woman was arrested on Monday after leaving her four young children in her vehicle while she drank alcohol inside of a lounge, Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputies responded to a call at the Apple Lounge & Grille at 2803 Recker Highway around 9:19 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office, on arrival, they discovered a 10-month-old girl, a 3-year-old boy, a 5-year-old girl, and an 8-year-old boy left alone inside a vehicle in the parking lot of the establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n

Inside the bar, they found the suspect, Tiffany Shanta Simmons, 36, who appeared inebriated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say an employee informed them that Simmons arrived around 8 p.m. with a young boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That employee then informed her that nobody under 21 was allowed inside the lounge to which Simmons responded, \u201cShe would take the boy outside to wait with his father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simmons returned to the bar about 15 minutes later and began ordering food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lounge staff discovered the four children while searching the parking lot after becoming suspicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PCSO arrested Simmons and she has been charged with four counts of negligent child abuse, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, and leaving children unattended in a motor vehicle for more than 15 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
