A 41-year-old Scranton woman faces charges after police said she was found unresponsive Oct. 8 in a running car with her 16-month-old child in the back seat.

Patrolman Mark Striefsky responded to the Wright Center, 5 S. Washington Ave., Archbald, around 3:45 p.m. for the report of an unresponsive female in her vehicle with a young child in distress in the back seat, according to a criminal complaint.

Striefsky met with Lou Strazzeri, a Wright Center employee, who said a construction worker on the premises heard a baby crying inside a blue 2017 Mercedes Benz, police said.

The driver — identified as Gabrielle Lomonaco — was unresponsive and slumped over the wheel, with the car running, with a 16-month-old child in the back seat.

Before officers arrived, bystanders woke up Lomonaco and walked her and the child into the Wright Center, police said.

Emergency medical technicians evaluated Lomonaco, who refused treatment or transport to a hospital, according to the criminal complaint.

Lomonaco told officers, “I guess I fell asleep in the car,” when asked what happened.

The woman told police she had an appointment at another facility around 1 p.m. and an appointment at the Wright Center at 2, according to the criminal complaint.

Lomonaco, who said she takes several different medications, admitted taking a muscle relaxer before driving to the Wright Center but denied using any illegal drugs or drinking alcohol.

Her boyfriend and stepmother picked up the child from the medical facility, according to the criminal complaint.

Lomonaco failed two field sobriety tests and consented to a blood draw, according to the criminal complaint.

Upon reviewing video footage, officers discovered Lomonaco arrived at the Wright Center at 2:13 p.m. and was awoken around 3:42  — meaning the child was unsupervised in the vehicle for approximately 90 minutes while her mother was unresponsive, police said.

Police charged Lomonaco, 528 New York St., with endangering the welfare of children, DUI, and driving while operating privilege is suspended or revoked with a BAC over .02.

As of Tuesday, Lomonaco remained in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $7,500 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 22 at 10:45 a.m.
