Police: Kids locked in car, mom gets PI charge

A woman confronted by police when three young children were found in a locked, non-running vehicle at a gas station now faces charges of public intoxication and resisting arrest.

Mariana Quintero-Hernandez, 24, of Bastrop, was released from custody Friday, May 10, after posting bonds totaling $2,500, officials said.

The case stems from a Thursday, May 9, incident at the Texaco, 2200 W. Second St., when officers responded at 9:43 p.m. to a report of children left in a car that was turned off for about 30 minutes.
