OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A Tulsa man was arrested after police found his
18-month-old daughter locked in a metal dog cage, his naked 4-year old
daughter outside on a cold afternoon and him
asleep in a drug or alcohol
“induced stupor,” police said Monday.After forcing their way inside, police discovered the toddler was covered in feces and that a 3-year-old child was asleep in another room. Their father was found asleep on a bed, “in an alcohol- or narcotics-induced stupor,” Ashley said.
The three children were placed into the custody of the Department of Human Services, and the father was arrested on a child neglect complaint. The Associated Press is not naming the father so to protect the identity of the children, who showed no sign of physical injury, Ashley said.
