Alleged Shoplifting Mom Keeps Kids in Hot Car During Crime

A 23-year-old woman is accused of leaving two small children in a car while she shoplifted from a Bismarck Walmart.

Police say the 3- and 5-year-old kids were found Friday after being in the car for half an hour with the windows rolled halfway.

Dawn Morsette was arrested for shoplifting and faces a felony child neglect charge.

She has already pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor theft charge and was sentenced to three days in jail.
