In nearby Antioch, a two year old was left alone in a car for about 90 minutes.

Twenty-year-old Kateria Williams is free on $2,500 bond following her arrest late Friday night on a charge of felony child neglect for leaving her two-year-old son unattended in a car for approximately 90 minutes while she shopped at a West Nashville department store.

Officers were called to 6800 Charlotte Pike at 10:35 p.m. Friday after a passersby saw a young child by himself crying inside a blue Chrysler 300. The motor was running and the air conditioner was on. The boy had urinated on himself, which, in conjunction with the air conditioner, had dropped his body temperature to 96.2 degrees. He was taken to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital to be checked out, and was later released to the custody of his grandmother.
