LINDSAY, Okla. (AP) -- Garvin County prosecutors have charged a woman with felony child neglect after police found her 1-year-old son alone in a hot car.

Mary Mowdy, 21, of Lindsay was arrested after police responding to an anonymous phone call found the boy covered in sweat in the car outside a grocery store.

Mowdy came running from the store as an ambulance arrived. She said she had been inside the store for five to 15 minutes, police said.

The boy was examined by doctors as a precaution.

Mowdy was freed on $10,000 bond and is due in court June 22.

The incident happened Tuesday evening, and criminal charges were filed Wednesday.
