A San Antonio woman faces charges after leaving her young children home alone for an extended period while she consumed alcohol. Deputies responded to a 911 call from one of the children and discovered the mother intoxicated at a separate location.
A 36-year-old woman, Misty Dawn Lewis, has been arrested and charged with abandoning or endangering a child without intent to return, and possession of a controlled substance after leaving her two children, ages 9 and 12, home alone for over 10 hours. According to Bexar County court records, Lewis was arrested on January 18th following a 911 call from her eldest child who reported their mother had not returned home after leaving at 5pm.
Lewis had told her children she was only going to pick up a package from a friend nearby, but her absence stretched beyond a reasonable timeframe. Bexar County sheriff's deputies, concerned for the children's safety, pinged Lewis's cell phone, which led them to a location on Flipper Drive in San Antonio. Upon arrival, deputies found Lewis appeared intoxicated and smelled of alcohol. During questioning, Lewis admitted to leaving her children home alone. A small amount of cocaine was also found on her person, resulting in her arrest and subsequent charges. A judge set her bail at $12,500
