ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. -
A woman faces charges in connection with leaving two children in a parked car in Elizabethtown while she was in a tanning salon.
On Saturday morning, an officer spotted an idling car in the first block of East Park Street, police said. A 6-year-old girl and 10-month-old boy were inside, they said.
"He asked the girl where her parents were at and the young girl said that her mother was across the street at the tanning salon. As he spoke to the young girl, he also observed an infant in a child restraint seat in the rear seat area. The young girl said that she was not to talk to strangers and began to cry. The officer explained that he was not a stranger and that he was there to help," a police news release states.
The officer went to the tanning salon and located the mother, Krista Mann. The officer asked for her driver's license, which she said she left at home, they said.
The officer discovered her license was suspended in connection with DUI, police said.
Mann is charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of children, two counts of leaving an unattended child in a motor vehicle and driving under suspension, DUI-related.
