Harris County man charged for leaving 2 and 4-year-old in car alone within reach of loaded gun
HOUSTON - A man was charged in Harris County for leaving two young children in a car alone within reach of a loaded gun, court records say.
Michael King, 25, was arrested on Friday and charged with abandoning a child with intent to return.
Court documents state King left two kids, a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old in a car unattended with a loaded gun behind the passenger's seat in "easy reach" of both children.
King was able to make his $5,000 bond and is expected to be back in court on Monday.
