TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Tulsa
police say a man is in jail after authorities discovered his
18-month-old daughter locked in a metal dog crate inside his home.
Authorities were called to
the man's home Sunday night after neighbors found a naked 4-year-old
child in the backyard. When police arrived, officers discovered an
18-month-old girl locked in the kennel while the man was asleep in his
bed.
A third child was found asleep next to the man.
Police said that the man said he took narcotic pain medicine, a muscle relaxant
and an anti-seizure medication and drank a beer before falling asleep.
The three children are now in state custody. The man was arrested on a felony child neglect complaint.
