Texas Man Leaves Hungry Kids Locked in Car While Bar Hopping

Some humans are just not supposed to be parents!  A 25-year-old El Paso man was arrested for allegedly leaving his kids locked inside his car while he went bar hopping.  According to KFOXTV, Fabio Aaron Michael was arrested and charged with abandoning children with intent to return. Police say that he left a two and a six-year-old locked inside the car for more than an hour. Many witnesses called the police to report children in a locked car, honking the horn.   When fire crews arrived, they rescued the children who reported being hungry while being locked in the car.

According to police documents, Minchala told them he was aware the kids were in the vehicle and planned to leave the bar soon. Police described Minchala as slurring his words, smelling like alcohol, and looking like he was having a hard time maintaining his balance. Minchaca has been kicked out of these establishments for being 'overly intoxicated' and bothering other customers.
