A Delaware man was arrested Friday on four counts of endangering the welfare of a child. The arrest came after he left four young children alone in an SUV while he gambled in Delaware Park Casino<\/a>, state police allege. The kids are four, seven, nine, and 12 years old.<\/p>\n

William Brisco, 37, of Smyrna was also charged with several other violations. These include possession of a controlled substance, resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia, and having an unattended motor vehicle, according to a statement released by Delaware State Police (DSP) Senior Corporal Jason Hatchell.<\/p>\n

The incident unfolded at about 7:15 pm. DSP troopers were working an extra-duty assignment at the gaming property. They were investigating illegally parked vehicles.<\/p>\n

In one of the vehicles, a red Chevy Trailblazer, troopers spotted the four children. It appears they were supposed to be under Brisco\u2019s oversight. The engine was on. No adults were in the SUV.<\/p>\n

Cocaine, Paraphanalia Found<\/h2>\n

Brisco returned to the SUV after gambling on the gaming floor. Troopers were waiting for him, and they saw he had a large bag of suspected cocaine in his jacket sleeve. Brisco then darted.<\/p>\n

\n

He was found by troopers a short time later hiding behind trees on the gaming property. Troopers ordered him to give himself up. Brisco surrendered without further incident. The troopers said they also found a digital scale and $390 from illegal drug proceeds in Brisco\u2019s possession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After his arrest, he was driven by troopers to a DSP barracks. Over the weekend, he was arraigned in the local Justice of the Peace Court. Later, he was released from custody after posting a $7,050 bond.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s arrest is far from the only time police have arrested adults in the US for leaving unattended children in a vehicle while they went inside a casino to gamble.<\/p>\n

Baby Left in Car in North Las Vegas<\/h2>\n

In July, a six-month-old boy was left in a parked car at Bighorn Casino<\/a> in North Las Vegas, Nev. He was found alone.<\/p>\n

A passerby heard the baby crying and contacted authorities. The car\u2019s windows were partially rolled down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A man was later arrested, and police said he was gambling in the venue and appeared intoxicated. Mitchell Anthony Hooks, 39, of Las Vegas was located in the casino.<\/p>\n

Hooks was charged with child abuse and leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle, KLAS<\/em>, a Nevada TV station, reported.<\/p>\n

Doctor Charged in Similar Incident<\/h2>\n

In April, a 43-year-old Florida doctor allegedly left two kids unattended in a locked car at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Dr. Marieny Elena Guimera-Revelo was facing two charges of neglect after she allegedly left the two children unsupervised. The children were three- and 11-years-old.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prosecutors claim she was at a poker table in the casino for at least 12 minutes, according to WBBH<\/em>, a local TV station. In total, she was in the casino for about an hour, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
