The incident happened on Monday evening, when the temperature was near 90 degrees. Kristin Macias of Gardner, also known as Kristin Lowrey, 28, pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge of endangerment related to her 9-month-old daughter.
She also has an unrelated pending charge for heroin possession. The manager of Austins Bar and Grill said that the baby was found in the woman’s vehicle after people at the bar turned her away when she tried to enter topless.
With hot weather coming in, Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said, his office will prosecute parents who leave children locked in cars. Cases that injure or kill the child can be filed as felonies, he said.
