VICTORVILLE — A woman was arrested Wednesday for allegedly leaving her four young children, no older than 3 years old, in a vehicle mid-day with the windows rolled up, authorities said.

Danessha Janee Williams, 28, of Los Angeles, was arrested and booked at the High Desert Detention Center on suspicion of child cruelty. She is scheduled to appear in court Friday.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputies with the Victorville Sheriff's Station were called to the 15400 block of Vallejo Street at 12:25 p.m. The children — three girls and one boy — were reportedly unsupervised inside the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes.

"Deputies arrived at the location and discovered a 3-year-old female, two 2-year-old females and a 1-year-old male were locked inside the vehicle," authorities said in a statement. "The vehicle's engine was turned off and the windows were rolled up. The children were in the back seat and no car seats were located in the vehicle."

When Williams saw the deputies, she tried to leave the scene in the vehicle with the children still unsecured in the back seat, authorities said.

They added the children were checked out by fire personnel at the scene for safety purposes and then released to the custody of a family member.
