A father has been arrested on allegations he left his three young children alone in a parked car for hours Sunday night while he was inside of an Antioch club.

Garcia Ferman, 41, was charged Monday morning with multiple counts of child neglect.

An arrest affidavit stated the mother of the children — ages eight, six and four — contacted Metro police after her eight-year-old called her and said Ferman, their father, left them in a vehicle parked outside of Las Ninas Club on Apache Trail.

The child alerted his mother around 11:30 p.m. and stated he and his siblings had been in the car since 8 p.m., detectives said.

According to the affidavit, “all three children stated they were not injured, just tired and wanted to go home.”

Ferman was also being held on an immigration charge, jail records showed.
