A woman was arrested early Sunday morning for abandonment of a minor after she and the children’s father allegedly left them at the door of a stranger.
An arrest citation for 27-year-old Charise Campbell of Hopkinsville says officers responded to a 911 call in the area of Greenville Road and East First Street about 3:15 a.m. that a resident heard a knock at the door and opened the door to find a child under the age of 2 crying.
They saw the child’s father running away and soon heard a second knock, opening the door this time to find a two-month-old infant. Campbell was with the father the second time and the resident said they were arguing as they ran into a home on Rozelle Avenue and that both appeared to be intoxicated.
Campbell was located at her apartment about a half-hour later and arrested for abandonment of a minor. The child’s father has not yet been arrested, but is listed as a suspect on the report.
