TAMPA - Police charged a woman with felony child neglect Wednesday night after they found her 2-year-old son unattended and running along a sidewalk next to a four-lane portion of North Boulevard, they say.


Latasha Kendrick

Latasha Regina Kendrick, 26, of Tampa, appeared to have just woken up when she answered the door after an officer knocked, an arrest affidavit states.

Kendrick told an officer she thought her child was playing in the house, and she admitted to taking pain medication an hour before the officer's arrival, according to the affidavit. Her home's back door was unlocked, and a gate was open.

Kendrick, of 701 W. Indiana Ave., knew the medication causes drowsiness, the affidavit states.

She remains in Orient Road Jail with bail set at $2,000.
