A Florida grandfather, David Towner, 62, of Port Orang, has been arrested after an employee at a Hertz car rental lot in the Daytona Beach International Airport discovered a toddler who was left in the back seat of a returned vehicle for about 45 minutes.

The incident happened on Monday evening, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. They also stated that the child was scared and hot, but thankfully was in good health when checked by paramedics.

Deputies who are assigned to the airport responded to the rental lot at about 6 p.m. Monday “after a Hertz employee reported the toddler was found in a locked vehicle in the car return lot,” authorities said. “Deputies arrived to find the employee carrying the child, whose face was warm and streaked with dried tears, but was breathing normally,” the sheriff’s office said.

According to CNN, the vehicle had been returned at 5:13 p.m. Monday, but deputies and airport staff were unable to make contact with the driver after finding the toddler.

“Then a call came in from the child’s mother, who had just learned her father had left her daughter in the rental car – not at his home, as he’d told her. The mother was on her way to the airport immediately to be reunited with her child, who is just under the age of 2,” authorities further disclosed.

The child was returned to her mother and the Department of Children and Families was notified.

Towner has been charged with one count of child neglect and is being held in the Volusia County jail on a $2,500 bond.
