A Florida woman was arrested after leaving her baby son in a cold car while she allegedly stole from her local supermarket on Saturday, Jan. 13.

Sarah Jean Wilmoth, 30, was arrested after a couple noticed a baby boy alone in a car at a Publix parking lot. When the couple returned 45 minutes later, they noticed the infant was still in the car and crying hysterically. They quickly notified police who rescued the child from Wilmoth’s 2001 Chevrolet Blazer, reported the Miami Herald, citing an arrest report.
