POTEET, Texas – A mother was arrested early Tuesday after allegedly leaving her two toddlers home alone to travel to San Antonio.<\/p>\n
Poteet is about 25 miles south of San Antonio.<\/p>\n
Angelina Herrera faces two counts of abandoning or endangering a child, as well as a charge of possession of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n
Police initially responded to Herrera’s residence after receiving an anonymous tip that the young children had been left unattended while she went to visit a boyfriend in San Antonio. Officers arriving at the scene received no answer at the door.<\/p>\n
As police received additional calls about the incident – including reports that Herrera was driving back to the home – Atascosa County sheriff’s deputies pulled her vehicle over for speeding in an unrelated traffic stop. Herrera was taken into custody during the stop on the narcotics charge.<\/p>\n
At the same time, a family member arrived at the residence and granted officers entry into the home. Police confirmed both toddlers were awake or unharmed and asleep inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"POTEET, Texas – A mother was arrested early Tuesday after allegedly leaving her two toddlers home alone to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":398416,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-398415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/398416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=398415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=398415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
